The defense of the Vice President of the Valencian Government, Mónica Oltra, has presented the brief against the request for imputation before the TSJCV in which she defends that “there are no rational indications of criminality” in the cause for which a court claims her imputation.
Last Friday, the Prosecutor’s Office ruled differently and understood that there were “relevant indications” for the investigation against the Valencian vice president to continue for the alleged lack of protection of a minor abused by her ex-husband.
In the 36-page brief to which La Vanguardia has had access, the lawyers of the Compromís leader recall that this same court -the TSJ- has already refused to investigate her, considering that “no objective evidence” was provided against her. At this point, it indicates that there is still no evidence to support the investigation request, and that the accusations are based on speculation that “contradicts” the result of the investigation carried out.
Likewise, it warns that the jurisprudential doctrine is contrary to prospective accusations and that “one thing is the story that the complainants and plaintiffs riddled with elucubration and uncertain facts” and another very different thing is that the existence of indications “that They do not derive from what was investigated in the investigation phase, but from the plot bias of the initial story raised in the complaints.”
Oltra’s legal defense maintains “that it is not true that she ordered or had anything to do with the decision to open” an internal file on the case that affected her ex-husband “and neither did she have anything to do with, nor did she intervene, nor in its processing, nor in the elaboration of its conclusions, nor did it have anything to do with its fate”.
In this sense, the brief before the TSJCV provides the statements of the workers who participated in the preparation of the information file on the actions of the Ministry and the Niño Jesús center in the case of abuse of a minor by an educator.
In said statements before the investigating judge it is stated that none of them received orders from the vice president in any way and that they always acted under her professional judgment and knowledge.
“The statements made by the Director General for Children and Adolescents, Rosa Josefa Molero, the Deputy Director General for Children, Gema Plaza, and the Territorial Director, in absolute detail and in response to the questions put to her by the Instructor, categorically denied that Oltra Jarque I would have told them nothing, or would have ordered them to open the information file”.
For this reason, it is stated in the letter, “it is absurd to elevate to the category of evidence what is a simple manifestation of a merely political sphere, whose context has been fully clarified in the investigation phase, and which cannot have any type of reproach penal”.
For all that, the defense of Mónica Oltra exposes before the TSJCV that after the investigation of the investigating magistrate, with “extensive” statements and “extensive” documentary evidence provided, “these same public manifestations anticipated by the plaintiffs continue to exist that this Illustrious Court understood that they were insufficient to sustain the accusation against the appraised and that they continue to be so today”.
And in accordance with this, it demands that “it be agreed that there are no objective indications of criminality that justify the opening of criminal proceedings against Mónica Oltra, agreeing to dismiss the actions against her and return the case to the examining body.”
