Overview
- Maribel Vilaplana went to a hospital with an anxiety crisis two days before her scheduled appearance as a witness on Monday, with her ability to attend pending medical evaluation.
- Levante-EMV reported she showed Carlos Mazón an À Punt video of Utiel’s floods between 17:37 and 17:40 on 29 October, a claim her family disputes by saying she received the link but did not open or display it.
- Presidency-submitted call logs show Mazón made or received eight calls after that timeframe, including four with ex-consellera Salomé Pradas, three with Valencia’s provincial chief Vicente Mompó, and one with Cullera’s mayor Jordi Mayor.
- The judge, following an Audiencia order, will question Vilaplana only on what she personally saw or heard during the lunch and has asked her to produce a parking ticket to verify the timeline.
- The Utiel flooding left six dead and triggered UME deployment, and investigators are scrutinizing Mazón’s communications that afternoon, with some reports noting a near 40-minute period of no contact later that evening.
