Pradas Seeks Dismissal of DANA Case After CHJ Chief’s Testimony

Her filing leans on Miguel Polo’s testimony, portraying the Barranco del Poyo risk as unknown to Cecopi, with the flood described as unforeseeable.

Overview

  • The defense submitted a motion to the Catarroja investigating court to archive the criminal case over the October 29 flood response.
  • It cites CHJ president Miguel Polo’s statement that Cecopi handled no data on the Barranco del Poyo, that he did not sense the real risk, and that efforts focused on the Forata dam.
  • Polo acknowledged widespread sensor failures at the CHJ and maintained that the absence of real-time information left no capacity for reaction.
  • The filing underscores a 18:43 email from the CHJ warning of the Poyo’s rise that technicians did not relay to emergency command because they assumed the CHJ would assess and communicate it.
  • The motion argues there are no rational signs of criminality, frames any accountability as administrative, and says Pradas relied on consolidated official information when approving an ES-Alert.
