The catastrophic floods in Valencia on October 29, which claimed 228 lives, have led to legal scrutiny of political leaders.

Salomé Pradas, former Interior and Justice Minister, is under investigation for her handling of the emergency response.

A judge has highlighted delays in issuing mass alerts and questioned the preparedness of the emergency system, which Pradas admitted she was unaware of until the day of the disaster.

The tragedy, which was not an unforeseen event, saw warnings from meteorological agencies ignored.

Pradas and another official face charges of negligence, while the role of other leaders remains under examination.

Families of victims continue to seek justice as the investigation unfolds.
