Controversies
Phrases invented in leakage of illegal recording Asunta Basterra's parents had been detained and placed in nearby dungeons so that police officers could record everything they said to each other. On 30 October 2013, Griso's programme leaked the first recordings of these conversations. A sign that appeared briefly indicated that the phrases were read by actors: Rosario Porto: "You and your little games? Have you had time to get rid of that?"

Alfonso Basterra: "Shut up, maybe they're listening to us." These phrases do not appear in the official police transcript nor are they heard in any other part of the conversations that were not transcribed; however, they were considered to be true and repeated for years, before and after the trial, by almost all Spanish media, including public television channels.

Interview with Ángel Hernández Pardo

Ángel Hernández Pardo had allegedly helped his wife, who had been sick with multiple sclerosis for 30 years, die. She had attempted suicide 23 years ago and was totally dependent. According to him, she asked him to help her stop suffering.

In an interview in Espejo Público, Hernández indicated that he was very affected, but that he was satisfied for having ended his wife's suffering.

In reference to some videos that the husband had recorded, Griso asked the now widower: "Why did you record those videos? To influence the electoral campaign?"The interviewee responded with:"Me la trae al pairo. (I couldn't care less.)"Days later Griso declared that he made a mistake when phrasing the question and apologized: It is clear that I was wrong in the way I phrased the question. I apologize for that.
