The key step by the judge handling the 'Errejón case' that no one expected
The 'Errejón case' continues to progress amid new controversies arising around the course of the investigation.
Judge Adolfo Carretero, head of the Court of Instruction Number 47 of Madrid, has made a surprising and crucial decision in the "Errejón case." The magistrate investigating the former spokesperson of Sumar, Íñigo Errejón, for an alleged sexual assault has made an important announcement.
Carretero has communicated that he will request protection from the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ). This measure arises from the flood of criticism he has received for the tone and questions he posed to Elisa Mouliáa, the complainant, during her interrogation.
The sessions of actress Elisa Mouliáa and Errejón himself took place on January 16 and were disseminated days later on social media. The protection Carretero seeks aims to shield him from the accusations that have affected his role as a judge.
The criticisms have grown following the opening of an inquiry by the CGPJ. In it, it was announced that more than 900 complaints filed against the magistrate will be reviewed.
The trigger for this situation was the interrogation that the judge conducted with Elisa Mouliáa. The actress reported having been sexually assaulted by the former leader of Sumar in September 2021.
As can be seen in the images, Carretero repeatedly questioned Mouliáa's version during the hearing, even casting doubt on her testimony. Judge Adolfo Carretero has decided to request the Prosecutor's Office to open an investigation into the leak of the videos of the statements of both Íñigo Errejón and Elisa Mouliáa.
These videos reached the media, sparking a media storm. The magistrate believes that this dissemination of the recordings compromises the investigation and has requested clarification on who was behind this leak.
This decision by Carretero to request protection from the CGPJ and to open an investigation into the leak marks an unexpected turn in an already tense case. The "Errejón case," which initially began as a sexual assault complaint, has escalated into a topic of great interest.
The upcoming decisions of the CGPJ and the Prosecutor's Office will be key in determining how the investigation progresses. Meanwhile, Errejón continues to maintain his innocence.
