The defense of the former Sumar deputy Íñigo Errejón will appeal to the Provincial Court of Madrid the temporary suspension of the case decreed by the judge, after requesting it from the complainant’s lawyer, because he considers that it is “a delaying maneuver” of the accusation, which is carried out by a lawyer who was not formally involved in the case and who has been on leave since November 7.
Errejón’s legal representative is already working on the appeal that she will present to the Court of Instruction Number 47 of Madrid after the decision of the instructor to archive the procedure for the moment was announced this Monday, as announced The World.
By agreeing to the file, the judge has also suspended the statements of Errejón and Mouiláa that were scheduled for this Tuesday, as well as “all the actions and deadlines of the present procedure until the complainant’s lawyer presents her medical discharge.”
The judge explains that Elisa Mouliaá “has refused to appoint another lawyer to replace her trust” so “the inevitable consequence is the impossibility of continuing the procedure.” In this way, with the temporary file“the deadlines for the investigation” established by law are prevented from passing, as the judge himself recalls.
