• Carmen Adán stated the atestado failed to reach the Fiscalía due to electronic filing and notification gaps.
• At least four formal complaints have been filed over alleged coercive sexual conduct by camp monitors in Bernedo.

• Adán criticized the Ertzaintza’s Minors Unit for not alerting prosecutors, underscoring coordination failures across police, courts and the prosecution service.
