Overview

  • The Fiscalía Provincial de Valencia has filed a formal complaint in Llíria over the leak of a telephone conversation between an Aemet meteorologist and a 112 technician.
  • The four-minute October 29 recording was initially released in February in a shortened, manipulated form suggesting Aemet downplayed the severity of the storm.
  • Full audio revealed detailed warnings that the DANA flood’s worst conditions were expected between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. in Valencia’s interior north.
  • Aemet president María José Rallo lodged the original complaint, citing legal protections for emergency communications and potential personal data breaches.
  • Prosecutors will investigate alleged crimes of discovery and revelation of secrets linked to the unauthorized disclosure of the audio.
