Elisa Mouliaá Returns to Madrid to Face Errejón Defamation Case

Her voluntary arrival prevents the execution of a detention order, suggesting the court may impose regular check-ins to secure future testimony.

Overview

  • The actress presented herself at Plaza de Castilla to declare in a querella brought by former Sumar spokesman Íñigo Errejón, which accuses her of publicly alleging he manipulated two witnesses.
  • The judge had ordered her detention after she missed a third personal citation, but that order was not executed because she returned to Spain and appeared before Judge Arturo Zamarriego.
  • Errejón's lawyers asked the court to require Mouliaá to make fortnightly appearances to ensure she attends future procedural acts and to guard against repeated absences.
  • A querella is a private criminal complaint that triggers an examining judge to investigate; this defamation probe is legally separate but factually linked to Mouliaá’s earlier 2021 sexual‑assault complaint against Errejón.
  • Wednesday's step into court follows months of exchanges between the two, including a failed conciliation in October and Mouliaá’s claims that missed dates were justified by medical reasons and work abroad, which she says cost her contracts and reputational harm.
