New Cecopi Recordings and Witness Claim Intensify Probe of DANA ES-Alert Delay

The judge is scrutinizing timestamps, provenance, and metadata to assess whether the new recordings contradict earlier testimony.

Overview

  • The Catarroja court has admitted and circulated audiovisual files from À Punt and a Generalitat-hired producer, while ordering precise recording times and clock verification from the materials.
  • Previously unheard audio captures subdirector Jorge Suárez proposing around 17:00–17:30 to send a message to all mobiles in the Utiel‑Requena area, three hours before the province-wide ES-Alert went out at 20:11.
  • Clips show then-consellera Salomé Pradas directing messaging decisions, including saying, “Before sending the next message I want to see it,” a stance that conflicts with her earlier account as an investigada.
  • A firefighting technician testified that President Carlos Mazón “was in charge in the Cecopi,” with reporting placing his arrival at 20:28, after the first ES-Alert had already been issued.
  • Intersindical Valenciana has asked the court to extract À Punt file metadata to rule out manipulation and, if needed, to seek a forensic report from the Guardia Civil’s cybercrime unit.
