The Court of Instruction number 47 of Madrid has suspended the statement of Elisa Mouliaá, the actress who denounced Íñigo Errejón for alleged sexual crimes, at the request of his lawyer. The investigating judge, Adolfo Carretero, has rescheduled the witness’s statement to next Tuesday, November 12 at 9:00 a.m., making it coincide with that of the accused, who will testify starting at ten.
The scandal around Errejón broke out on October 24, when Sumar’s spokesperson in Congress announced his resignation following anonymous complaints collected by journalist Cristina Fallarás. That same day, late in the afternoon, actress Elisa Mouliaá publicly acknowledged that she had suffered an episode of “sexual harassment” by Íñigo Errejón. The next day, Friday, October 25, Mouliaá went to the police station to file a complaint against the politician.
The Family and Women Unit (UFAM) of the National Police was in charge of collecting the victim’s testimony and sent it to the Superior Court of Justice of Madrid (TSJM). By turn of distribution, the matter was left in the hands of the 47th Court of Instruction of the capital, led by Judge Adolfo Carretero; According to legal sources, he received the complaint on Monday, October 28, exactly eight days ago.
The first step that the magistrate took as soon as he had the matter on the table was to send a letter to the Congress of Deputies so that the Lower House could confirm Errejón’s resignation from the seat. Hours later, on the afternoon of the 28th, Congress confirmed that Íñigo Errejón was no longer certified. Had he remained in office as a deputy, Errejón could only have been tried by the Supreme Court. This is the case, without going any further, of José Luis Ábalos, who cannot be tried for the Koldo case in the National Court.
But Judge Adolfo Carretero was able to confirm last Monday that Errejón is no longer a deputy, and has now summoned him to testify as a defendant. Before listening to Sumar’s former spokesperson, the instructor will take a statement from actress Elisa Mouliaá so that she can ratify in court the complaint she filed at the police station. Once the victim has been heard, next Tuesday Carretero will question the accused.
