The Supreme Court Prosecutor’s Office has taken a further step to evaluate the complaint against Carlos Mazón, former president of the Generalitat, for false testimony in his appearance on November 17, 2025, before the investigation commission of the dana at the Congress of Deputies. The action stems from the complaint filed by four socialist deputies (three national and one regional).

The Prosecutor’s Office has requested in a proceeding to the Supreme Court to require the order from the Superior Court of Justice of the Valencian Community (TSJCV) dated March 16, 2026, which refused to investigate the former Valencian president for his actions during the day of the dana as it did not find in the reasoned statement submitted by the investigating judge of Catarroja “a solid and objective basis to determine that they constituted a crime.” “It is for that analysis of whether what Mazón Guillot declared was relevant, where the order must be brought into the case,” adds the document, which EL PAÍS has accessed.
It recalls that Mazón has parliamentary immunity as a regional deputy and, therefore, can only be investigated by the TSJCV, except “in case of flagrant crime,” and that outside the Valencian Community “criminal liability will be enforceable, under the same terms, before the Criminal Chamber of the Supreme Court.”
The complaint, filed by Vicent Mascarell, Marta Trenzano, Vicent Sarrià, and Alejandro Soler, states that “the defendant was expressly warned of the legal obligation not to lie in his testimony, in accordance with article 502.3 of the Penal Code” and that, nevertheless, “he lied regarding the following matters”: list of calls; itinerary after leaving the El Ventorro restaurant; knowledge of the existence of deceased persons; aid sent by the Government of Spain and its destination, and communications with councilor Salomé Pradas, investigated by the investigating judge.
Now, the second chamber of the Supreme Court must respond to the Prosecutor’s request.
