Spanish translation:'(él) no pudo encontrar pruebas claras de que Al le había mentido'

Es lo que me sugiere la frase.

agree  Chema Nieto Castañón: Tal vez cambiando de ubicacion "claras"; No pudo encontrar pruebas de que Al le hubiera mentido claramente

  -> Tienes razón, Chema. Gracias. Tuve dudas acerca de dónde colocar/meter el "claras". Ahora bien, entonces diría '... de que Al CLARAMENTE le hubiera mentido'. Tb pensé, para evitar el 'claramente' poner '... que estuviera claro que Al le hubiera mentido'.

Explanation:
Depende mucho del contexto, pero podría no tratarse tanto de pruebas como de su propia convicción personal de que Al le hubiera mentido.
