During the ongoing thirteenth session of the case against the accused, the focus remains on the person identified as Jorge Ignacio PJ, who faces charges for three completed murders and a fourth count currently pending trial. Civil Guard investigators are expected to introduce additional evidence collected during the investigation, while the defendant is again questioned before the jury under the case identifier Operation Manual.
Today, nine jurors—seven women and two men—will hear from agents involved in the search and examination of the apartment on Calle Isabel la Católica de l’Olleria, a residence rented by Jorge Ignacio PJ. The testimony is anticipated to explore potential links between the alleged homicides and the disappearances and deaths tied to Marta Calvo. Items under scrutiny include jeans with bloodstains matching the victim and a mixed genetic profile associated with the accused, forming part of the growing evidentiary narrative presented to the court.
Further material is expected as the agents outline additional lines of inquiry. Using mobile phone geolocation data and connections to multiple cell towers, four agents from the Armed Institute will recount movements attributed to the suspect. The timeline and pattern these movements reveal are being examined to corroborate the prosecutorial narrative surrounding the alleged crimes.
Significant portions of the testimony have already enabled Valencia’s Joint Homicide Squad and investigators from the Central Operations Unit to challenge several statements made by the accused. They have questioned the assertion that Marta was taken from the Volkswagen Passat purchased by the defendant and driven from Valencia to his home on Manuel Street at dawn on November 7, 2019. The ongoing examination strives to construct a coherent sequence of events rather than a series of inconsistent recollections.
Witnesses described a period during which the defendant moved erratically among Manuel, Xàtiva, l’Olleria, Valencia, el Puig, Paterna, Castelló, Senyera and other locations before ultimately evading capture. He remained at large for 21 days, surrendering at four o’clock in the morning on December 4 at the Carcaixent barracks, after which he admitted that Marta Calvo had been dismembered under circumstances that remained unclear. The court has listened to these early accounts and the arrest that followed, marking a turning point in the proceedings.
This session marks the second occasion on which civil guard experts have explained the results of tests conducted under the scope of the Operational Manual during the hearing. The testimony has questioned the defendant’s version and suggested that the escape narrative may have been shaped as events unfolded. The witnesses have described how the defendant’s statements were constructed and how investigators sought to verify or dispute those statements as the case evolved.
Recent reporting from Levante-EMV indicates that murder investigators and canine teams have presented further counterpoints to the defendant’s accounts. Experts concluded there was no sign of decomposition in the bathroom where Marta Calvo’s remains were alleged to have been handled, and they asserted that no human remains matching Marta Calvo were found dumped in landfills. The testimony underscores the tension between the defendant’s narrative and the physical evidence collected by investigators. These findings have been attributed to specialist teams who continue to piece together the circumstances surrounding the disappearance and death of Marta Calvo within the broader context of the case, as reported by Levante-EMV in the session coverage.
