There may be more recordings
However, Villarejo’s diaries, which were found during one of the searches of the retired commissioner’s home, show that the list of recordings could be higher, since the police agent marked in his diaries the conversations that he considered of interest.

One of these two appointments is included in the agendas. The media have already published one of those conversations.

Can you imagine everyone recording everyone? It’s Hobbes’ bloody state of nature!!”, Explains this former official who was recorded by Villarejo on numerous occasions. [El ser humano en el estado de naturaleza es, según Hobbes, el egoísmo y no está sometido a ningún límite legal, por lo que se impone el más fuerte: el hombre es un lobo para el hombre].
Villarejo was preparing an audio store thinking that, thanks to it, he would one day be saved from possible arrest in case he was discovered. This list of recorded ex-charges and former state officials is also joined by groups of businessmen such as Xavier of the Rose, whose testimony began the Pujol case; lawyers, many of them appearing in different corruption cases; the former policemen who had gone over to the private company, and who had hired Villarejo from those entities, as is the case, for example, of Jose Luis Corrochano [BBVA]; and that of journalists.
