Overview
- The Catarroja court recorded receipt of the executed request notifying President Carlos Mazón of the September 11 order offering a voluntary declaration as an investigado.
- The court notes the order was delivered to the Palau de la Generalitat on September 19, with the diligencia made known to the parties on September 26, marking the first written notification to the president.
- Because Mazón is aforado, the judge can only invite a voluntary appearance, and any compulsory summons would require authorization from the TSJCV.
- The judge cites journalist Maribel Vilaplana’s revised account—extending the lunch to past 18:45 and highlighting calls during the meal—as grounds to clarify Mazón’s time at El Ventorro and his communications.
- The investigation into the October 29 flood that caused 229 deaths continues, with former officials Salomé Pradas and Emilio Argüeso already under investigation as Mazón reiterates publicly that he will not present himself despite pledging maximum cooperation.
