Magistrate Arturo Zamarriego has issued a detention order against actress Elisa Mouliaá after her third failure to appear on Monday before Madrid's Court of Investigation number 9.
The order responds to the calumnies complaint filed by Íñigo Errejón against Mouliaá. The judge considers that the actress shows a clear intent to evade the action of justice.
Mouliaá is in Dubai for work reasons under an international contract. She offered to testify by video call and her lawyer Yurena Carrillo raised this option with the court, which rejected it.
The actress has denounced the decision on X and described it as prevarication. She has linked the case to a broader criticism of the Spanish judicial system.
The procedure originated after Mouliaá's complaint against Errejón for sexual assault in October 2024. Errejón then filed the calumnies complaint.
