Overview
- On Monday, May 25, 2026, Amparo Folgado told Judge Nuria Ruiz Tobarra that she phoned Vicente Mompó around 18:00 to report the Horteta barranco was 'desbordado' and later called emergency subdirector Emilio Argüeso about an apparent victim.
- The judge has ordered municipal phone records from the DGTIC and Folgado’s carrier to verify her calls and has re-summoned Mompó to answer why the call did not appear in his prior testimony or in the call lists he gave the court.
- Vicente Mompó previously told investigators he received no information warning of serious danger in l'Horta Sud before the EsAlert mass mobile notification was sent at 20:11 on October 29, 2024.
- Investigators treat the late EsAlert as central to the probe because the judge holds that an earlier mass warning could have reduced the 230 deaths in the October 29, 2024 dana.
- The new contradiction from a PP mayor deepens scrutiny of regional emergency leaders under investigation, focuses the inquiry on communication failures inside Cecopi, and may shape criminal and political accountability in the probe.
