The command of the National Police Corps (CNP) that led the investigation against the Pujols has admitted this Tuesday that it feels “personal animosity” towards the family.

“But this has legal consequences,” the president of the court, José Ricardo de Prada, warned him. If a witness shows any type of personal interest in a procedure, the credibility of his or her statement may be greatly affected. The inspector of the Economic and Fiscal Crime Unit (UDEF), now in Information, has stated, however, that his hatred of the Pujols does not prevent him from telling the truth. And, well, a good part of the reports on the allegedly illicit businesses of Jordi Pujol Ferrusola, eldest son of the former president of the Generalitat, Jordi Pujol, bear his signature. “I have always told the truth. My questions are objective, based on a scientific method from which I infer consequences,” he said before showing off his resume (“I was an auditor before I was a police officer”) and under the watchful eye of the Pujols’ first-born son, sitting behind him, the only defendant who follows almost all the sessions of the trial.
which, for more than three decades, he hid from the Spanish Treasury. According to the defense, the money comes from a he leaves (legacy) that Florenci Pujol, father of the former Catalan president, left the family in case his son’s political adventure ended badly.

He maintains that the million-dollar payments he received from various companies for supposed services, which went to Andorran accounts, were only a cover to hide the payment of illegal commissions in exchange for the awarding of public works. The fortune comes, according to the Prosecutor’s Office, from political corruption, and that is the thesis that the instructor has supported.

The police command has insisted that the thesis of the he leaves It has no basis. “There was no reference to the inheritance in Andorra, and the opening dates did not coincide either. The data does not add up,” he warned. The witness has also confirmed that, although he managed the accounts, one of the deposits was in the name of former President Pujol, something that the family has always denied. In the interrogation of the Prosecutor’s Office, he has reiterated that the irregularities in the business of the eldest son and has affirmed that his companies are “instrumental.”
