Overview
- Carlos Mazón’s lawyer filed a reposición, a motion asking the same court to reverse itself, after the judge refused to forward specific case documents to the Provincial Court.
- The investigating judge had accepted Mazón’s appeal and circulated it to the other parties and prosecutors, yet denied sending the records on the grounds he is not a formal party in the case.
- The defense calls that stance a clear contradiction and argues it strips the admitted appeal of the evidence needed for any real review.
- His lawyer says the records were already pinpointed in the appeal and notes the judge’s own order acknowledges those references, so lack of file access was not a valid obstacle.
- What happens next matters for Mazón’s rights, because party status as a pre-investigated suspect grants access to the file, and the ruling could force the records to the Provincial Court in a probe of the Oct. 29, 2024 storm response that left 230 dead in Valencia.
