I think Bartomeu was actually charged by the police, not just just accused. To charge someone criminally in a Spanish uses the word “acusar” which is related to accuse so I could see why it would be translated in English as “accused.”
I think that’s right, and it makes even more sense when you consider the full quote that’s being reported that they have “sufficient evidence to [charge]”
You wouldn’t normally speak of “sufficient evidence to [accuse]” someone, at least in a police / legal matter.
That said, I’ve not seen any official statement on this, just Spanish press reports. Does anyone know if there’s an official statement?
