Judge Receives Photo, Room Measurements and €165 Invoice in Probe of Mazón–Vilaplana Lunch

The court is testing whether the lunch setting would have allowed the journalist to hear the president’s emergency communications during the deadly DANA.

Overview

  • The El Ventorro owner delivered a photograph, a floor plan and dimensions of the reserved room—about 4.8 by nearly 3 meters with capacity for five—to the investigating judge.
  • The same owner submitted an invoice for two set menus totaling €165 billed to the Valencia branch of the PP, with the table noted as 106 but no time stamp on the receipt.
  • Interparking certified that Maribel Vilaplana’s car entered the Plaza Tetuán garage at 14:38 and exited at 19:51 after a €15.10 payment, narrowing the window of the meeting and departure.
  • Call logs cited in media reports place Carlos Mazón making or receiving eight calls from 17:37 to 18:30, and later a return call at 19:43 following two missed calls at 19:10 and 19:36.
  • Testimony conflicts remain as Vilaplana told the court she could not hear calls in what she described as a large room, while the restaurateur says the reserved space is small; the judge continues taking statements from security staff and officials.
