  • Newspaper library: Josep Pujol operated in Andorra under the pseudonym 'Rocabily'

The Economic and Fiscal Crime Unit (UDEF) has provided a new report before the National Court in which it states that Josep Pujol entered at least 2.3 million new euros "of unknown origin" in one of the family's bank accounts Pujol in Andorra .

The Judicial Police analyzes these funds, which were already regularized before the Treasury by the son of the former Catalan regional president, and insists that their origin has not been determined. The researchers point out that the funds entered the Andbank account as "cash income" and "transfers from abroad" and adds that in the same sub-account of the Principality it has quantified money outflows amounting to 2.8 million.

The UDEF also calls into question an articulated loan between Josep Pujol and businessman Jorge Barrigón , owner of a helicopter company, worth 900,000 euros in which he warns that it is a fictitious operation aimed at money laundering illegal origin. The Police point out that the Barrigón entity, Cat Helicopters , was a beneficiary of public tenders of the Catalan Generalitat, an end that has already been stated in previous reports.

The Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office has asked Judge José de la Mata to extend the investigation of the Pujol case , which ended at the end of the month while continuing to investigate the alleged finding of new family funds in Andorra through several businessmen whom he designates as frontmen . That is why the judge has issued several rogatory commissions, including a new one to Andorra, which is still pending to be answered.
