Overview

  • The judge of Instruction No. 6 in Llíria has opened preliminary proceedings into a February leak of an incomplete, manipulated audio call between Aemet and the 112 emergency service during the October 29 DANA flood
  • Prosecutors allege the unauthorized disclosure could violate articles 197.1 and 197.3 of the Spanish Penal Code for revelation of secrets
  • The court ordered the Guardia Civil’s Judicial Police to identify the two officials heard in the recording and record their testimony as injured witnesses
  • Investigators demanded the media outlet hand over both the unedited and edited audio files and tasked the Technological Crimes Group with auditing Coordcom’s access protocols and user logs
  • Podemos has applied to join as a popular accuser, accusing President Carlos Mazón and the Generalitat Valenciana of manipulating the emergency information
