“200 afectados contra el millonario Carlos de Ory por su 'estafa' urbanística en Indonesia: 'No hay calles, luz, ni agua'”
About
Identity verified to reply here. It does not mean we endorse them or that they are right.
This case is about the founder of reply.press. Carlos de Ory has not labelled it, has not approved it and cannot: the house rule is that nobody involved in a case decides anything about it. That is why no sentence is checked and the scoreboard gives points to nobody until someone else reviews them. These are the twelve with something in them: the three offences alleged, the date he testified as a formal suspect, the loss figure and whose figure it is, what the prosecution says is missing on the ground, one named investor with amounts, Indonesian document 640.1/1577, and the sentence where the outlet itself draws the line. The right-hand column is empty because he has not replied here yet, not because he stayed silent: the original article carries his version and is linked in full above. The window runs from the moment this case was opened. There is no conviction.
How it ended, sentence by sentence

12 unanswered
The accused
0
- 12 still standing: unanswered, or the outlet was right
Article score: 10.0/10
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.
