Vidal's movie studio Nacho Vidal Productions was implicated in the Spanish National Court-led sting, and charged with counts of flight of capital and tax evasion. The newspaper El País described Vidal as "one of the high[est]-profile suspects arrested" and explained that he was accused along with his sister of helping the ring "by issuing false invoices from his movie production company."
