Overview
- An official IT report states Cuenca’s assigned iPhone 14 Pro Max was reset to factory settings before its return, wiping all apps and data.
- The device previously had WhatsApp installed, the uninstall time cannot be determined, and the phone was active until December 9.
- Judge Nuria Ruiz Tobarra incorporated the report into the case and ordered an in‑court confrontation between Cuenca and former minister Salomé Pradas.
- Notarial WhatsApp records filed by Pradas indicate the Presidency held key information from midday on October 29, 2024, and show Cuenca giving her instructions during the crisis that killed 230 people.
- The court will ask the Generalitat and Carlos Mazón about recovering communications, with any direct inquiry into Mazón falling to the TSJCV due to his parliamentary privilege.
