The full sentence is "Ayer la Fiscalía cerró sin pruebas la investigación en su contra y decidió no perseverar en el caso al no reunir antecedentes que permitieran "fundar una acción penal".

Does it mean they have no proof or does it mean they are closing the case without reservations?

It means the prosecution lacks proof or evidence to pursue the case.
