Overview
- Vicent Mompó, president of the Diputación de Valencia, testified again on Tuesday and repeatedly said he did not recall key calls about the barranco del Poyo, drawing visible irritation from the instructing judge.
- Torrent mayor Amparo Folgado provided a phone invoice that records a 39‑second call at 18:38 on the day of the disaster, a detail the court verified during her earlier testimony.
- The 18:38 call is significant because it contradicts the Generalitat’s account that the main danger came from a Forata reservoir breach and suggests local officials alerted provincial leaders to the Poyo overflow.
- Investigators are weighing objective records such as phone logs and Aemet alerts against conflicting witness memories to assess how Cecopi and other emergency bodies handled warnings and communications.
- The probe stems from the dana that struck on Oct. 29, 2024, which killed 230 people, and it remains open with the magistrate signaling further subpoenas and scrutiny that could affect political and legal responsibility.
