  • Courts. The 'Catalan CNI' commissioned the CDR to "assault the Parliament", according to the judge

The National Court is currently investigating the creation of a new Catalan CNI formed by a group of people from the independentist environment, outside the Generalitat but in coordination with it, who direct in the shadow to the so-called Committees for the Defense of the Republic (CDR).

The investigation of the Civil Guard and the Prosecutor's Office that directs the Court of Instruction number 6 of the Hearing has at this time indications of the existence of this nucleus of collaborators, which is not part of the staff of the Catalan Government of Quim Torra, but that Work in tune with him.

According to the investigations, this group of people has been instructing the seven detainees of the CDR who planned an attack with explosives the day the impending sentence of the process was notified. Specifically, they aimed at the blasting of a high voltage or communications tower in the province of Barcelona.

This 'secret service' is foreign to the Government of Torra, but is in tune with it

These investigations, according to assure EL MUNDO sources close to the investigation, are being carried out within the framework of a secret procedure linked to the summary of the so-called Judas operation against the CDR. In these proceedings, it has been discovered, for example, how this new mixed intelligence body has been dedicated to giving concrete instructions to detainees for belonging to a terrorist organization, manufacturing and possession of explosives and conspiracy to wreak havoc.

In this sense, the same sources point out, communications have been intercepted in which the members of the so-called Tactical Response Team (ERT) were expressly encouraged to promote violent actions on the grounds that they constituted "an essential tool for the independence" of Catalonia.

As EL MUNDO revealed, the judge of the National Court, Manuel García-Castellón, recorded in the prison cars of the detainees that in the telephone punctures that were made to those involved, he emerged “the existence of a conspiracy plan against the institutions of the State, which would consist of the assault and subsequent illegal occupation of the Parliament of Catalonia on D-Day, in order to subvert the constitutional order ».

He urged the CoR to commit violent actions after the sentence of the 'procés'

"The development of the plan," said the investigating judge, was "entrusted by the so-called Catalan CNI and would have been assumed and planned by the ERT itself, being involved in several of the initiatives that would make up that plan."

This operation was supervised, according to the researchers, by the Information Security Center of Catalonia (Cesicat), which was "fully aware" of the plans underway by the most radical sector of the CoR. However, the investigation now has evidence that this public body under the Catalan Government also had the support of the aforementioned external independence group, whose funding is also being tracked.

The Cesicat was created as an organism for the protection of the electronic systems of the Catalan Generalitat, but it has been put numerous times under suspicion for having been used in the process . In particular, the 1-O investigations pointed out that the independence leaders would have used Cesicat to fraudulently obtain data from Catalan citizens.

The Catalan CNI would have coordinated, among other operations, the attempted assault on the Parliament that was being organized by the time the Supreme Court ruling was known and the foreseeable sentences that will be imposed on all independentist leaders.

In the opinion of the investigators, those detained in the Judas operation were considered “mere soldiers” in an operation that was remote-controlled by the Generalitat through what the Office of the Prosecutor of the National Court has already baptized on other occasions, in reference to Cesicat , which was officially born in 2009 to control the security of Catalan telecommunications, such as the Catalan CNI .

However, the Public Ministry maintains that this body has ended up becoming "a kind of National Security Agency, in the understanding that it constitutes one of the basic structures for the functioning of Catalonia as an independent State." "Assuming for this," as the investigation in the Judas operation argues, "functions that are legally not assigned to it as being the responsibility of the State."
