A high-ranking official admits before the judge that she received orders to open the 'paralegal' investigation of the abuse of Oltra's ex-husband to a minor

The investigation opened to six positions of the Ministry of Equality for the management of the case of

of the ex-husband of the vice president

to a minor under guardianship in a center concluded the first day with the declaration of the territorial director of Valencia,

, admitting before the judge that he

by his superior in the department: the general director of Children and Adolescents,

.

Equality initiated an administrative file in August 2017, under the heading

, which was instructed until November 2017 by a legal technician by order of the territorial director, as the official recognized during the trial by the abuses.

That file, which included experts who discredited the version of the minor, was considered by the Valencia Court as a "

of which they did not inform the Juvenile Prosecutor's Office with the sole purpose of deactivating the complaint."

It is not until the first trial of Luis Ramirez Icardi is concluded that the file is sent to the Prosecutor's Office.

The accusations, brought by the minor herself, Teresa, the Gobierna-Te association and Vox, consider that this investigation not only sought to discredit the minor and protect the ex-husband of the vice president, but also to cover up the responsibility of the Administration for not having protected to the minor since she reported it until the Juvenile Prosecutor's Office intervened months later.

According to the statement of Isabel Serra, Oltra's party colleague, the order to launch this investigation came from her superior, the general director of Children and Adolescents,

, an order that she read, and was executed by officials, because it was the which was always done, without her having any further intervention.

In her account before the judge, she assured that she did not know the case until July, when it was already in the hands of the Prosecutor's Office, despite the fact that the minor had reported the abuses to the director and the psychologist of the center months in February. .

She nothing else clarified, not even to the cross-examinations of the judge and the prosecutor about

when the investigation of the Prosecutor's Office was already underway.

His answers, inconsistent, according to judicial sources, ranged from "to take measures in the future" to "improve the service" or "to inform us."

Nor did he clarify at what time he learned that the accused of abuse was the ex-husband of Vice President Oltra, with whom he shared militancy in the PV Initiative and with whom he appeared on the Compromís lists for the Xàtiva mayor's office in 2019, without obtaining representation.

Serra was the last to appear yesterday afternoon before the head of court 15 in Valencia.

Before her, and for two hours, the director of the Niño Jesús Center,

, declared , where Ramírez Icardi worked as an educator and the abuses occurred.

She admitted knowing that the educator was Mónica Oltra's partner, but she denied pressure or having acted to favor him.

What he did not know how to answer is whether in Teresa's case the intervention protocol for those cases that the center had had since 2015 was applied. The director did not remember that protocol, which she did do to the psychologist

, who also testified before the judge yesterday.

Of course, both recognized that the steps they took were communicated "to the technicians of the Ministry".

The statements of the three women concluded after ten o'clock at night and the legal representative of Vox, who was present at the statements,

, assured that they presented "contradictions" between them and none of them knew how to "explain why they did not notify the Prosecutor's Office ".

"This makes us wonder why they made that administrative file, if it was to cover up the fact that they did not comply with their control and guardianship functions," said Castro, who was accompanied at the door of the court by the spokeswoman in the Cortes, Ana Vega. .
