Rosa Ballester (Blanca Portillo) is a judge who prosecutes the businessman Joaquín de la Torre (José Coronado) for believing him responsible for a fire in a club.[1][2] To that end, Ballester requires the services of Jorge Vega (Daniel Grao), who moves from Salamanca to Madrid in order to help with the investigation,[3] unbeknownst the main reason behind the requirement of Ballester is that the latter wants to approach Vega's girlfriend Laura Nieto (Silvia Abascal), supposedly a key piece in the case.[4]

Acusados was reportedly so eerily similar to the American series Damages that Sony Pictures considered to file a plagiarism reclamation.[11]
