While prosecutors sought to hold Vidal in jail during the investigation and subsequent trial, on 19 October 2012, National Court Judge Fernando Andreu accepted the defense's contention that, "Vidal is not a flight risk because he signed a contract to participate in a reality show for the next three months." Upon his no-bail release, Vidal announced, "Thanks to everyone for their support. I've gone without any charge."<ref name=AVN />

Vidal's movie studio Nacho Vidal Productions was implicated in the Spanish National Court-led sting, and charged with counts of flight of capital and tax evasion. The newspaper ''[[El País]]'' described Vidal as "one of the high[est]-profile suspects arrested" and explained that he was accused along with his sister of helping the ring "by issuing false invoices from his movie production company."<ref name=elpais>{{cite web|title=Alleged "Emperor" money-laundering kingpin imprisoned without bail|url=http://elpais.com/elpais/2012/10/21/inenglish/1350835018_102226.html|publisher=ElPais|access-date=20 July 2013|date=21 October 2012}}</ref>

In March 2021, Spanish authorities officially charged Vidal with reckless homicide in the death of Abad following an 11-month investigation. According to court statements, Vidal acted as "the director" of the ritual and had previous experience in taking the toxin. Vidal allegedly supplied the toxin and failed to properly control the amount the victim inhaled during the ceremony.<ref name="CNN" /> The charges were dismissed in 2023.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://torontosun.com/news/world/porn-star-nacho-vidal-cleared-in-bizarre-toad-venom-ritual-death|title=Porn star Nacho Vidal cleared in bizarre 'toad venom ritual' death &#124; Toronto Sun}}</ref>
