Judge Opens Oral Trial Against Íñigo Errejón, Sets Feb. 17 Appearance

The order proceeds despite the prosecutor’s request for acquittal.

Overview

  • Judge Adolfo Carretero rejected a request to dismiss the case and set a Feb. 17 personal citation to notify Errejón of the opening of the oral trial for alleged sexual assault.
  • The court ruled that Elisa Mouliaá’s attempted withdrawal was not ratified, so she remains the private accuser in the proceedings.
  • The Madrid prosecutor’s office has sought to archive the case and requested Errejón’s free acquittal, arguing the evidence is insufficient and the facts are not criminal.
  • The Provincial Court of Madrid has deliberated on Errejón’s appeal to overturn his processing and has not yet issued a decision.
  • The investigating judge processed Errejón in November after a 13‑month inquiry and maintains there are indicia that have not been fully rebutted by his account or the expert and documentary evidence.
