Judge in Valencia DANA Case Receives Teleassistance Recordings, Tightens Lines of Inquiry

Transcripts rather than audio will be shared with the parties, signaling a pivot to targeted administrative evidence.

Overview

  • Case files show calls by some of the 37 deceased teleassistance users began at 3:51 p.m. on October 29, 2024, with documented follow-ups to 112 and the Utiel local police.
  • One managing company delivered the user call recordings to the court, which will provide them to the parties only as transcriptions.
  • Examining judge Nuria Ruiz Tobarra ordered focused requests to public bodies, including the Water and Emergencies departments for information on the Buseo reservoir.
  • The judge rejected seeking documents reportedly signed by the regional president at a restaurant that day and declined to summon Agriculture conseller Miguel Barrachina as a witness.
  • The court refused to open a separate false‑testimony proceeding linked to a journalist, kept previously ordered testimonies of the Cullera and Utiel mayors without dates, and admitted an association as a popular prosecution after a €6,000 bond.
