The Provincial Court of Valencia has dismissed most of the resources presented against the processing order of which Vice President Valenciana and Minister of Equality and Social Inclusion, Mónica Oltra, and a dozen members and officials of their team, according to the resolution consulted by this newspaper. This car leaves the former Leader of Compromís at the step of the bench for the alleged cover -up of a case of sexual abuse committed by his ex -husband, the educator Lr Icardi, on a minor guardian by the Generalitat, for which he was sentenced to five years in prison.
The Court has estimated the appeal of Carmen Fenollosa, former territorial director of Equality, which will be out of the case after the dismissal of his case because he reached the position in December 2019 and “his alleged participation in the facts is limited to the third block” that, according to previous cars, is excluded “of all criminal relevance”.
The head of the Court of Instruction 15 of Valencia, who had filed the case last April due to lack of indications, reopened in June “by legal imperative” according to the instruction of the Valencia Court of continuing with the investigation and re -processed the accused. Some of them resorted to that decision -not Oltra, which neither presented a resource nor adhered to those formalized by their team -and now that same fourth section of the audience confirms the dismissal of most of them. For the audience, there are sufficient indications to continue the investigation.
The instructor magistrate made the reasoning of the Fiscal Ministry who – despite agreeing with the initial archive of the cause – concluded in his report that the dismissal that the investigated requested is “an impossible procedural”, being all indicated “for their participation, greater or lesser, in one way or another, in the two episodes in which the audience sustains the existence of indications of crime.”
In the trial of the prosecutor, not to attend that reopening order “would place the instructor in a position of rebel obstination against the mandate of those who have legally attributed the review of their decisions.” The head of the Court of Instruction made its reasoning.
The car of the fourth section of the audience now emphasizes that “it is sufficient with the existence of indications that establish the probability of the involvement, which does not exclude the possibility that such an implication does not exist. It is because this resolution does not prejudge the guilt of a investigation, nor in any way its innocence excludes”, it is only limited to conferring to the defendant a determined status as a procedural part. The audience does not impose costs to the recurring.
History of an instruction
The cause against Mónica Oltra and 15 other people – a investigation that led to the resignation of the Valencian leader in June 2022 – was filed by the Court of Instruction in April 2024, not appreciating the judge investigating any crime in the action of the former vice president or an alleged cover -up of the abuses. The Prosecutor’s Office supported this decision.
However, two months later, the Valencia Audience partially estimated the resources that the victim of abuses and the two popular accusations-Vox and the governor association of former leader Ultra Cristina Seguí-had presented against the case file, and ordered to reopen it.
The hearing understood that the existence of criminal offense and that sufficient indications to prosecute the investigated, before a “plausible” hypothesis that, when the news of the abuse came to the Ministry of Equality, “the people who had knowledge of the facts and under whose protection and guardianship were the minor were not intended to hide them”.
According to the hearing, it must be in the act of the oral trial, and not before, when the issues related to the specific circumstances in which the facts and the qualification that they deserve are elucidated.
