CATARROJA, Spain – In an ongoing investigation into the devastating DANA (isolated depression at high levels) that resulted in fatalities and injuries, the presiding judge of the Court of First Instance and Instruction number 3 of Catarroja has taken significant steps to reconstruct the events of October 29th.
The judge has officially requested the Organic Unit of the Judicial Police of the Guardia Civil to compile a comprehensive report detailing a precise chronology of the day’s events. This move aims to establish a clear timeline of the incident, which caused widespread flooding and significant damage.
In a parallel inquiry, the judge has also sought information from the Conselleria de Interior, the regional Ministry of Interior. Specifically, the court has asked whether there were any recesses or breaks during the crucial Cecopi (Emergency Coordination Center) meeting held on the day of the severe weather event.
This request is seen as a critical component of the investigation, as it seeks to understand the decision-making process and coordination efforts during the emergency. Determining whether there were any interruptions in the Cecopi meeting could shed light on the efficiency and effectiveness of the response to the DANA.
The judge’s actions underscore the seriousness of the investigation and the commitment to thoroughly examining all aspects of the disaster. The findings from the Guardia Civil and the Conselleria de Interior are expected to play a vital role in determining any potential liabilities and improving future emergency response protocols.
The investigation continues as the community seeks answers and accountability following the tragic events of October 29th.
