The judge suspends the notification to Errejón of the opening of trial for alleged sexual assault against Mouliaá pending a decision from the Court of Appeals
Judge Adolfo Carretero has suspended the scheduled notification of trial opening to former deputy Íñigo Errejón regarding allegations of sexual assault until a provincial court ruling.
Judge Adolfo Carretero has decided to suspend the notification for a trial opening originally scheduled for Tuesday at 10:00 AM, directed at former deputy Íñigo Errejón. This suspension comes as the court awaits a decision from the Provincial Court regarding an appeal submitted by Errejón's defense after actress Elisa Mouliaá maintained her accusations against him. The case revolves around allegations of sexual assault that were said to have occurred in October 2021.
This is not the first time that Judge Carretero has paused Errejón's attendance at court. Last week, he justified the suspension citing 'legal certainty,' indicating that the notification should not be communicated until there is clarification on whether Mouliaá will continue with the charges against Errejón. The judge's decision comes at a sensitive time, given the significant public interest in the case and the serious nature of the allegations.
Errejón's professional and political future may hinge on the outcome of this trial. His status as a prominent figure within the political party Sumar adds further scrutiny to the legal proceedings, particularly as they intersect with broader discussions about accountability and the treatment of sexual assault claims within society. The case's progress will be closely monitored, as it may influence both public opinion and political dynamics in Spain.
