In recent days, some media have published the news that a professor at the University of Murcia (Francisco Ruiz Juan) has filed a complaint against three other teachers of the same institution, for alleged labor harassment.
In this respect, the University of Murcia considers it necessary to point out the following:
1. The University of Murcia respects absolutely the work that is only incumbent on Ilmo.
Court of First Instance and Instruction No. 7 of San Javier, which corresponds to the knowledge of the case.
2. No information of the published ones originates in the same University of Murcia, nor did they have the information appeared in autumn of 2016 on the criminal process and the condemnation of which the object was Mr. Ruiz Juan.
3. It should be pointed out, however, that the judgment of the Provincial Court of Murcia that acquitted the crime of documentary misrepresentation but at the same time condemned Mr. Ruiz Juan as the author criminally responsible for a crime of infidelity in the custody of documents Set as penalties, among others, the loss of his status as an official of the University of Murcia.
This judgment is not yet firm, since it has been appealed in cassation, both by Mr. Ruiz Juan and by the University of Murcia itself, so that it has not yet been executed.
4. In view of the fact that the information presented so far on the complaint submitted by Mr. Ruiz has its origin in Mr. Ruiz Juan himself, this frees him from restrictions to the University of Murcia and authorizes him to ensure that it is not transmitted To society a distorted image of reality.
After several files processed by the competent services of the University of Murcia, in this public educational institution there is full and justified conviction that Mr. Ruiz Juan has not been at all subject to degrading or otherwise inappropriate treatment and Qualifying as occupational or moral harassment.
On the contrary, it is, to a large extent, Mr. Ruiz Juan who, for one reason or another, is systematically failing to fulfill his professional duties.
5. In this way, and without prejudice to what Ilmo.
The competent court considers that it has been settled in law and the conclusions reached during the course of its investigation, the University of Murcia, examining the case and its background, considers that the criminal action brought by Mr. Ruiz Juan is manifestly unfounded.
6. For this reason, the University of Murcia has resolved to lend to the teachers complained the legal assistance provided for in the Basic Statute of the Public Employee, assuming the costs of their defense and procedural representation, from which they are initially taking charge The same legal services of the University of Murcia.
7. In the future, the University of Murcia will not make announcements on this issue;
Not, at least, until there is a resolution to be agreed, either dismissal and consequent filing, or the opening of oral proceedings.
8. However, insofar as the press exercises a legitimate and essential function in our State of Law, it will seek to combine the due attention of the information requirements from the media with the right to defense and privacy of the persons involved And, above all, with the tranquility and tranquility with which it should be tried that the work can be done by Ilmo.
