The Pujol family denounces before the National Court to have been victim of an operation orchestrated by the Ministry of Interior during the Government of Mariano Rajoy to, among other issues, assault some of their homes, follow them illegally and steal sensitive documentation.

The eldest son of the former Catalan regional president, Jordi Pujol Ferrusola , has presented a brief before the Court of Instruction number 6 that investigates the so-called Villarejo case , to which EL MUNDO has had access, in which he asks to appear as a private accusation.

According to the Catalan clan, "one of the objectives" of the Cenyt Group , owned by José Manuel Villarejo, was the figure of the firstborn of the Catalan clan and requests that all actions carried out against him be investigated.

Among others, he notes at least "three intrusions in the domicile of the ex-wife of Jordi Pujol Ferrusola on Moneders Street in Barcelona, ​​on February 27, 2013" in search of documentation held by the son of the historic convergent leader, who is the one He has managed family fortune in recent decades.

That day, always according to the story of the Pujol, the residence where the small daughter and the ex-wife of Jordi Pujol Jr. were raided. The entries in the property took place, as detailed in the complaint, at dawn, at 2.30 hours and at 5.45 hours, and then at 15.30 hours.

"Special footprints" in the property

The Pujol family underlines the National Court that denounced the assaults on the Mossos d'Esquadra, who thoroughly inspected the house. The result of the investigations, which were carried out in collaboration with the National Police and the Civil Guard, was that "special footprints" had been found inside the building that the Pujol now ask to be declassified if they coincide with those of some of the police officers investigated in the Villarejo case .

In this way, the Pujol attribute to the "criminal organization" for which the commissioner imprisoned in Estremera is being investigated an operation similar to that of the Kitchen operation in which Interior provided abundant personal and material means to snatch the compromising documentation that he had hidden the former treasurer of the PP Luis Bárcenas.

Not surprisingly, in the case that investigates this operation have already been credited with monitoring the Barcenas family without a warrant, the theft and interception of their mobile phones or the entry into some of the buildings in which they kept documentation.

"On Jordi Pujol Ferrusola, a multitude of personal follow-ups were carried out, false documentation was prepared, then provided by individuals to the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office , and coverage was given to public resources to different spontaneous complainants," said the letter addressed to Judge Manuel García Castellón . "All this," added the Pujol, "through channels beyond the knowledge of the judicial authority and escaping their control, in their own interest and profit."

Javier de la Rosa and the Cierco

Along these lines, the family of the former president of the Generalitat of Catalonia argues, "there are well-founded indications that some of those investigated and, in particular, José Manuel Villarejo, acting outside of any legality and using their status as a public official, falsified commercial documents, obtained information of an intimate nature regarding Jordi Pujol Ferrusola and offered advantages and economic and police coverage to different witnesses to present molded statements of the allegedly incriminating sign ", in reference to the testimonials provided at the beginning of the Pujol case by the financier Javier de la Rosa and Jordi Jr.'s ex-girlfriend, Victoria Álvarez .

Among the allegedly criminal actions, the Pujol include the delivery by the Cierco family , owner of the Private Banking of Andorra ( BPA ), to the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office of a false bank document with which it was intended to link the wife of Oriol Pujol Ferrusola with his brother-in-law Jordi with the objective of attributing to the former secretary general of CDC "a role of the frontman" of the clan.

In turn, they attribute to the Cierco, who claim they worked in collusion with Villarejo, a new poisoning to Anticorruption. This time telling that Marta Ferrusola , wife of the former Catalan president, hid 30 million through Andbank's financial structures that had not been located by the Spanish Justice.

A bank account and tracking

This information has not been corroborated by the Public Ministry and Andbank has concluded, after an internal investigation, that it does not recognize the authenticity of the bank account allegedly shared by the wife of Oriol and Jordi Jr.

The Pujol family has contributed to the National Court, among other evidence to prove this new parapolicial operation, the recording revealed by EL MUNDO in which Villarejo and the commissioner Marcelino Martín Blas , former head of Internal Affairs , referred to the "controls that were maintaining the National Police to Jordi Pujol Ferrusola and his direct environment "and that were never communicated to the judge who at that time was instructing the Pujo l case in the Central Court of Instruction number 5 of the National Court.
