Overview

• Examining Court No. 4 of Valencia ordered a definitive dismissal of the falsedad documental case, declaring any criminal liability extinguished by prescription.
• The complaint by the civil servants’ union Manos Limpias targeted a purported 1983 diploma in archivistics and library science listed in Ángel’s Diputación de Valencia file.
• The Universitat de València does not recognize that credential and says the program did not begin until 1990, a contradiction cited in the case materials.
• The judge cited case law and noted the offense prescribes regardless of whether Article 390 or 392 of the Penal Code applies, stating the facts would have been time-barred at least 30 years ago.
• The order was notified to the parties and can be challenged via a motion for reconsideration or appeal, while Ángel had already resigned in July following Antifraud findings and was briefly hospitalized days later.
