Sex video scandal
In October 1997 a covertly filmed sex video was circulated which involved Ramírez and a woman, Exuperancia Rapú Muebake.[1][2] Following a criminal investigation, the Madrid Court convicted the former personal aide of Felipe González at the Moncloa, Ángel Patón; the former civil governor of Guipúzcoa, José Ramón Goñi Tirapu; and four others, of violation of the right to privacy, sentencing them from two to four years in prison.[3] The sentence, upheld by the Supreme Court, established that the purpose of the entrapment had been to change the editorial stance of El Mundo.
His wife, Agatha Ruiz de la Prada, has never mentioned this matter in public.
