Claim 4: “Lawyers for Andic have now released CCTV footage of the 71-year-old father tripping and falling while walking on a sidewalk outside of the Mutua Universal company in Barcelona”

MISLEADING

The claim states the footage shows the father falling on a sidewalk outside Mutua Universal. However, the evidence from AOL/El Pais specifies that the video shows him falling 'ten months before his death' to support the claim that his later death was an accident, not that the video shows the fatal fall itself occurring on a sidewalk.
