The investigation of the Déborah case for the examination of the victim's phone is extended for six months

The Investigating Court number 2 of Tuy (Pontevedra) has decided to extend the investigation of the case for the disappearance and death of Déborah Fernández-Cervera for another six months, whose lifeless body appeared in a ditch in O Rosal in 2002.

In an order dated July 19, the substitute magistrate of said court indicates that this extension is based on a report from the Public Prosecutor, who requested it in order to find out the result of the examination of the victim's mobile phone.

A terminal that appeared last year in a file “unknown to date” in a Madrid police station without a SIM card. In addition, this extension of deadlines was also requested to have the DNA tests of the investigated.

Despite everything, the lawyers for Déborah's family have appealed that order and have once again asked the judge that, if the Prosecutor's Office understands that there is no homicidal etiology, “what is the point of all this?”.

Precisely last week, the relatives of the deceased young woman “gave up” and requested the provisional dismissal of the case due to the “abuse” of justice, the Spanish State and the rule of law, after more than 20 years fighting to find the culprit of the death of the woman.

“We give up. It is difficult to knock down a wall with paper balls, no matter how many we throw. The relatives no longer want to put up with what they understand as mistreatment by the Administration of Justice, the Spanish State and the rule of law,” one of the family's lawyers, Ignacio Amoedo, told the media..

Now, after learning that the judge has extended the instruction, the family has criticized that the order does not even mention that the private prosecution withdrew from the DNA test on the accused (two others were already carried out in 2002 and 2010).. All this because the magistrate did not agree to the procedural representation of the family being present during the sampling.
