The cabinet of the former vice president and former Minister of Equality of the Valencian Generalitat, Mónica Oltra, did not address the issue of the minor abused by her ex-husband until the prosecution informed them that it had opened proceedings. This is attested by the police in a report advanced by the newspaper El PaÃs and confirmed by this newspaper, dated May 10, forwarded to the court. This states that there are only email references to the case as of August 8, 2017, when the department opened an information file after learning that a judicial investigation was underway.
The head of the court number 15 of Valencia has lifted, after six months, the secret of the piece in which the communications between the former vice president of the Valencian Government and the members of her cabinet have been investigated in order to verify if there was any communication to reveal that the department was aware of the case prior to the Prosecutor’s decision and maneuvered to try to hide or minimize it. Mónica Oltra resigned from all her charges on June 21, 2022 because of her imputation.
However, the only referential communications on the subject are those that crossed the center in which the minor was admitted and the territorial direction of Valencia, but not with the cabinet of the vice president, of CompromÃs. The police report does not provide incriminating evidence against the vice president or the core of her closest collaborators.
In her statement before the court, the former vice president insisted that she found out about the case of abuse on August 4, 2017, when she received a judicial notification at her home and that she was unaware of the work that the technicians in her department had been doing since the month of February of that year, when the victim, who was 14 years old at the time, denounced the facts. The abuse case ended in 2019 with a five-year prison sentence for the ex-husband, Luis R. Icardi.
The aforementioned newspaper adds that in the piece on the communications of the members of Mónica Oltra’s cabinet, the possible deletion of emails denounced by the same Seguà has ​​also been investigated. According to the report of a technician, also incorporated into the case, the complaint is nothing more than a “misunderstanding” since what the Generalitat proceeded to disable was the domain @cv.gva.es created, initially, to provide user accounts. mail to citizens but which, in no case, are email addresses used by public administration workers.
On June 16, 2022, the Superior Court of Justice of the Valencian Community, TSJCV, decided to call to declare the Valencian vice president and leader of CompromÃs, Mónica Oltra, as being investigated (imputed) for the management of her department to protect a minor sexually abused by her ex-husband. The minor was supervised in a center dependent on the Valencian vice president and presumably the vice president covered up for her ex-husband.
In an order, the Court maintains that the reasoned statement prepared by the Investigating Court number 15 of Valencia recounts “a series of plural indications that as a whole make us suspect the possible existence of a concert between Mrs. Oltra and various officials in her charge , with the purpose of either protecting her then partner (…) or protecting the political career of the registered womanâ€. He also points out that there is “no direct proof” of Oltra’s guilt, only “indications”.
The court investigates a total of fifteen people to try to clarify their participation in the opening of an information file or confidential information with which they supposedly tried to hide the case or discredit the minor who suffered abuse by the then husband of Oltra, who was sentenced to five years in prison and whose sentence is expected to be reviewed by the Supreme Court.
