Overview
- Vilaplana is scheduled to appear as a witness at 9:30 a.m. before Investigating Court No. 3 of Catarroja, presided over by judge Nuria Ruiz Tobarra.
- The Audiencia Provincial’s Section Two compelled the summons after ruling it cannot be ruled out she heard calls or comments by President Carlos Mazón during the crisis, a scope not precluded by her public letter.
- The judge asked her to provide the parking ticket from València’s Glorieta and any documents that corroborate how long she remained with Mazón after their meal at El Ventorro.
- Sources say Vilaplana spent a few hours in hospital for an indisposition and returned home, and she remains due to testify as cited.
- EL PAÍS reports she recently stated she left the restaurant between 18:30 and 18:45, later than an earlier account, as investigators examine timing and what she may have learned during conversations related to the disaster that left 229 dead.
