The judge in the DANA case requests the Mazón lunch receipt and photos of the private room from El Ventorro.
He also asks Pérez Llorca for the list of calls he had with Pradas and Mazón on October 29th.
BarcelonaA new development has occurred in the investigation by the judge in Catarroja into the handling of the DANA storm in the Valencian Community. With the aim of clarifying the chronology of the afternoon of October 29th once and for all, the investigating judge has requested that the owner of El Ventorro, the Valencia restaurant where Carlos Mazón and journalist Maribel Vilaplana ate, provide information about the meal and the private room where it took place. Specifically, she is requesting the bill and photographs of the room where Mazón and Vilaplana were eating as the downpours began to wreak havoc in the Valencian Community. But why does the judge want photos of this private room? In a ruling issued this Monday, the investigating judge emphasizes the importance of determining what those who were with Carlos Mazón at the restaurant could and could not hear (from those who were on wiretapped conversations to the owner, including Vilaplana). One of the telephone conversations was with the then Minister of the Interior, Salomé Pradas, who is under investigation in the case. In fact, one of the arguments put forward by the Valencia Provincial Court for summoning Vilaplana as a witness was that she could have overheard this conversation, although she has not provided any details. The judge has even demanded to know the dimensions of the private room. As for the lunch order and the receipt, these would "objectively" prove the "estimated duration" of the meeting, beyond what the witnesses may have explained. Furthermore, in the week leading up to the investiture debate for the candidate for President of the Valencian Generalitat, Juanfran Pérez Llorca, the investigating judge has requested that this Popular Party leader provide his phone bill to determine the duration of the calls he made on the day of the storm with Pradas or with Ma. Meanwhile, negotiations between the People's Party and Vox continue.
