Overview

  • The prosecutor endorsed the judge’s refusal to investigate government delegate Pilar Bernabé, ruling her role was limited to institutional coordination.
  • A request to conduct a mental-health evaluation of AEMET chief José Ángel Núñez was rejected for lack of evidence of cognitive impairment.
  • Only ex-consellera Salomé Pradas and her deputy Emilio Argüeso remain formally under investigation following appeals.
  • The prosecutor affirmed that the Confederación Hidrográfica del Júcar’s submitted flood-warning protocol meets court requirements.
  • The case is entering its final instructive phase, with the inquiry awaiting outstanding flood-warning protocols under the Inuncat plan.
