Journalist Maribel Vilaplana Hospitalized Days Before DANA Testimony After New Video Report

Her health episode casts doubt on a Monday court appearance following reports of an alleged flooding video that her family says she did not show to the regional president.

Overview

  • Vilaplana went to a hospital on Saturday for what her circle describes as a severe anxiety or nervous crisis and she remains under medical care without a confirmed diagnosis.
  • She is formally summoned to testify Monday in the judicial probe into the DANA timeline regarding her October 29 meal with President Carlos Mazón at El Ventorro.
  • Levante-EMV reported she showed Mazón a video of flooding in Utiel around 17:40 during that meal, a claim echoed by other outlets as a key timeline detail.
  • Relatives and associates dispute that account, saying she received a link at 17:39 but did not open it or show it to Mazón, a link La Vanguardia reports it verified.
  • La Vanguardia adds that the judge requested her parking receipt to fix times and that Mazón accompanied her to the garage, while El Correo reports event bookings have been canceled and institutions are keeping their distance.
