The Court of Auditors has officially communicated this Tuesday to the former president of the Generalitat Carles Puigdemont and all his Government and other leaders of the process that must pay 4,146,000 euros for the illegal expenses of public money carried out in the 1-0 referendum. And, in addition, he has informed them that he will add to the procedure illegal expenses in foreign action, including embassies, which poses a threat to his pockets of up to 20 million. This is assured to EL MUNDO in legal sources with preliminary calculations.
The audit body has summoned this morning to the defenses of Puigdemont, which was its 'number two' in the Government, Oriol Junqueras, and 29 other people, including former advisers and senior officials to communicate the provisional settlement certificate with the amount that The instructor considers that she has been embezzled to celebrate 1-O. Among the defenses is that of Josep María Jové, the leader of Esquerra who negotiates with the Government the support for Pedro Sánchez.

A figure is still premature, but calculations of legal sources place them at 20 million, which would overwhelm the independence collections made to date.
