Dana Inquiry Expands With New Evidence Requests as Galician Judge Ends Villares Probe Pending Review

Both proceedings hinge on contemporaneous records that courts are now gathering and higher tribunals must validate.

Overview

  • Valencia’s investigating judge asked the Abogacía de la Generalitat to confirm whether senior officials sought legal guidance on imposing confinement during the 29 October 2024 storm.
  • The court requested a report from the Basque emergency agency (DAEM) and preservation of 112 Euskadi call recordings forwarded from 112 Valencia for possible inclusion with consent.
  • The Audiencia Provincial de Valencia upheld the decision not to investigate Júcar basin authority president Miguel Polo, and the judge rejected other motions deemed outside the relevant decision window or immaterial.
  • PP leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo submitted a notarized log of his WhatsApp exchanges with Carlos Mazón from the day of the disaster and asked to testify by videolink on 9 January.
  • A Ferrol judge closed the sexual‑assault investigation into former Galician minister Alfonso Villares without sending him to trial, elevating the case to the A Coruña Provincial Court as Xunta officials awaited that ruling.
