The president of the Valencian TSJ will preside over the court that will decide on the imputation of Oltra

The Civil and Criminal Chamber of the TSJCV has today notified the parties of the composition of the tribunal that will decide on the imputation of the Vice President of the Valencian Government Oltra, according to sources in the Valencian High Court.

In application of the distribution rules of the Chamber itself, the court that must decide "on the admission or inadmission of the reasoned statement sent by the Investigating Court number 15 of Valencia in relation to the appraised Mónica Oltra", will be composed of the Judge Antonio Ferrer, who has been designated as rapporteur; the president of the Valencian TSJ herself, Pilar de la Oliva, who will preside over the Chamber; and Judge Vicente Torres, former Anti-Corruption Prosecutor.

The chamber has communicated this composition to the defenses and the accusations since an appeal for reconsideration can be filed against this resolution within three days.

The three members of the court will be in charge of deciding whether or not to admit Judge Vicente Ríos' request, which called for the indictment of the first vice-president of the Consell and leader of Compromís in the case of possible abandonment suffered -by the Administration- by a victim of sexual abuse in a sheltered center at the hands of Oltra's ex-husband between 2016 and 2017.

The instructor considered in his order that it was no longer possible to "progress in the ordered investigation" without the vice president of the Consell "being heard as being investigated, without harming her constitutional right of defense and without harming the right of action of the accusing parties and defense of the accused parties.

In fact, Ríos indicates that there are "rational, serious and well-founded indications of the participation" of the Vice President of the Valencian Government in the events for which proceedings are already being carried out against 13 investigated, among senior officials of the Ministry and workers of the center where they occurred the abuses.
