“El financiero acusado de fingir alianzas con la élite inversora francesa para captar empresas catalanas se sienta ante la justicia”
About
A Barcelona micro-company against an outlet. Its director answered with specific dates and corrected the names of the companies he says he met. The outlet amended the article and published the rectification. The trial was under way: the judicial outcome is still open.
How it ended, sentence by sentence
The outlet
6
6 unanswered
The accused
4
- 6 still standing: unanswered, or the outlet was right
- 4 answered, refuted with a document, or claimed without proof
Article score: 6.0/10
Every sentence starts counting for the article, because unanswered is how it was published. Answering it takes the point off the outlet and gives it to the person named. Green means answered, not proven: what an editor has checked against a document is written in each sentence's own label.

«En relación con la sociedad valenciana SUBSTRATE AI nunca fue engañada por nuestra empresa, ni su dirigente. En ningún momento formulamos promesas ni dimos falsas esperanzas a su dirigente, el Sr. Serratosa, presidente de la sociedad.» «La caída en la cotización de SUBSTRATE AI desde mayo de 2022 se atribuye a omisiones en el folleto de información elaborado por la propia dirección de dicha sociedad.»
Translation
"As regards the Valencian company SUBSTRATE AI, it was never deceived by our company or by its director. At no point did we make promises or give false hope to its director, Mr Serratosa, chairman of the company."
"The fall in SUBSTRATE AI's share price since May 2022 is attributable to omissions in the information prospectus drawn up by that company's own management."
