The legal status of Monica Oltra and the investigation into the alleged cover-up of the sexual abuse of a minor for which her ex-husband was sentenced to five years in prison Luis Eduardo Ramirez Icardi will continue to condition the political agenda in the coming weeks.
The renunciation of act of deputy of the former vice president of the Generalitat has meant the loss of the status of appraised and already has its first consequence. The Superior Court of Justice of the Valencian Community has suspended her statement as a defendant scheduled for July 6 and has demanded that the Valencian Courts certify that the Compromís policy is no longer parliamentary. The order, signed by the judge Anthony Ferreris dated this Monday, June 27.
Once this procedure has been completed, the case will return to the Court of Instruction number 15 of Valencia, whose magistrate had demanded the imputation of Monica Oltra with the support of the Prosecutor’s Office.
In an order dated April 1, the judge Vicente Rios He argued that there are “rational and solid indications” of the participation of the former vice president of the Generalitat in the events for which thirteen other people were already being investigated, including a senior official who maintains his position in the Government chaired by Ximo Puig. The case tries to elucidate if the Ministry of Equality tried to hide the case of abuse of a girl by an educator who at the time of the events was married to Mónica Oltra and if they tried to discredit the victim, Maria Theresa TMwho was abused when she was fourteen.

The investigations opened by the Court of Instruction number 15 of Valencia try to clarify the “suspicious act” of the managerial and technical personnel of the Department that directed Monica Oltra in relation to the “paralegal instruction” that they carried out once the case was judicialized.
In the brief addressed by the judge to the TSJ where he reasoned the reasons why it should be imputed to Monica Oltrathe magistrate concluded that “there was no real will at the Ministry headquarters to clarify the facts but, on the contrary, to hide them, with a mere appearance of actions aimed at clarifying them.”
The Prosecutor’s Office, for its part, concluded in an extensive document in which it supported the judge’s request to charge Monica Oltra that the actions of the already ex-consellera and the rest of those investigated could constitute prevarication, abandonment of minors and omission of the duty to prosecute crimes.

In this context, the decision to summon the former vice president of the Generalitat will correspond to the judge Vicente Rioswho last March opened a separate piece of the case, declared secret, on the reserved file that the Ministry of Equality opened after learning of the abuses of the ex-husband of Monica Oltrawhich according to the magistrate would have served to try to discredit the victim’s version.
As part of these investigations, the Judicial Police registered one of the venues of the Generalitat Department the day before Mónica Oltra announced her resignation.
Waiting for the next steps of the Justice, this Thursday it is expected that the leader of Compromís Aitana More
take possession of the positions left by Mónica Oltra as Vice President, Minister of Equality and spokesperson for the Government of Ximo Puig.
