The president of Madrid’s Investigative Court No. 9 has admitted to handling the complaint filed by Somar’s former spokesman in Congress, Iñigo Errejón, against actress Elisa Mulea, who denounced him for alleged sexual assault at the end of 2024. The former MP considers that his complainant committed the crime of defamation by accusing him of “blackmailing” witnesses during the procedure, and Judge Arturo Zamariego decided to start the investigation and summon them on February 17 to hear their stories.
This confession comes a few weeks after the president of another court, No. 47, Adolfo Carretero, put the former deputy on trial for the alleged sexual assault of Molia at a party in September 2021. The judge, in the order in which he suggested that Errejon sit on the bench, explained that he kissed her without her consent when they were ascending in the elevator to the floor where a group of friends were celebrating. And that, later, inside the house, he took her into a room and touched her without her permission, even removing his “manly organ.” In addition, they both drove to the former speaker’s house and again tried to have sexual relations until she made his behavior ugly. For the judge, there were three crimes against sexual freedom in continuity.
The complaint that Errejón is now filing against the actress is based on some messages that Molia posted on his social networks in which she accuses him of trying to manipulate some of the actress’s witnesses and friends who testified on behalf of the former MP. According to the couple who were in the apartment that night, they did not detect any signs of sexual assault and both denied Mulia’s account in court, testifying via video from Australia.
When this fact was published in the press, Molia accused Irrigon of being behind his friends’ stories. He said in his letter, “No. Errejon refused to hand over his cell phone because he blackmailed two of my witnesses. Do not make up the truth.”
The defense of the former Soumare deputy went to a notary to collect this letter and several others from Mulia in the same vein because “it is common for the defendant to delete many of her publications,” notes the complaint to which El Pais newspaper was able to access. She wrote: “This is called blackmail, boy. Your testimony is invalid. It doesn’t matter what they say. The rest have testified in my favor and everything is moving forward.”
Errejón’s lawyer explains that in the letters exchanged between him and the two witnesses, they always told him that they would tell the truth and the former deputy never tried to distort his story. One of the two people who testified before the judge said: “I am writing to you from Australia because I have just learned of the accusations from Elisa that night I was at my home near Ponzano. I am sorry this happened. It is truly unfortunate.” “Elissa told us everything in detail and called us the next day,” he told her on October 25, 2024. “Everything was completely normal. We are here for whatever you need.”
The defense also points out that if Errejón did not hand over his cell phone to the judge, it was because the Madrid Regional Court agreed with him that this procedure was inappropriate. The complaint states that the actress acted on her social media networks with “false and untrue statements” that were “made knowingly of their inaccuracy and with full knowledge of their untruth.”
