Interparking, the company that manages the parking lot in the Plaza de Tetuán where Carlos Mazón accompanied Maribel Villaplana in the midst of the Dana emergency, confirms after a long period of astonishment at El Ventorro that the caller paid for the ticket at 7:47 p.m. On October 29, 2024.
Although the time was already known, given the amount and time, the investigating judge in the Dana case asked the company to verify in its internal documents which payment corresponded to the last three digits of Maribel Villaplana’s credit card.
From these three numbers on Villaplana’s credit card, there are only two payments, for the morning subway tickets, and a third payment related to the journalist’s car, according to a document from the company seen by elDiario.es.
Villaplana pulled his car into the central parking lot at 2:38 p.m. She left at 7:48 p.m. The ticket was paid for €15.10 at 7:47 p.m. (and 45 seconds).
Therefore, it can be inferred that it only took the caller one minute and 15 seconds to remove his vehicle from the parking lot after paying the amount and maneuvering to move from its location to the exit barrier in Tetouan Square.
The company, for its part, indicates that it does not know the names of credit card holders who pay parking fees.
The investigating judge intended to use this data to optimize the time he said goodbye to Mazzone and Villaplana after the meal and after-dinner conversation at El Ventorro and the walk to the parking lot.
By the time the meeting between the pair ended, there were already dozens of dead on the ground as a result of the dana.
