• Hearing. Final report of the prosecutor against Trapero: "The really applicable legal qualification is that of sedition"
  • Courts: The Prosecutor's Office asks 10 years in prison for Trapero for sedition but adds that he would accept a disqualification for disobedience
  • The sentence: The Supreme Court sentences Junqueras to 13 years for sedition with embezzlement and between nine and 12 to the rest of those jailed by the 'procés'

The defense of the Major of the Mossos Josep Lluís Trapero has exposed today to the court that the decision of the Office of the Prosecutor to offer a sentence for disobedience supposes to recognize that a conviction for sedition is not possible. "The alternative to the crime of disobedience is opened and with this, from procedural experience, what is being admitted is that it does not have sufficient proof of charge for you to convict for sedition," attorney Olga Tubau told the First Section of the National Court. "In order to guarantee that eventual sentence, he must open the door to disobedience."

The Office of the Prosecutor began the trial accusing him of rebellion, but the Supreme Court ruling imposed a change in the legal status to sedition. But the Public Ministry went further and offered as an alternative qualification a mere disobedience, which would not entail imprisonment neither for Trapero nor for the Mossos political commanders during 1-O, the also accused César Puig and Pere Soler. This offer was agreed to by the Public Prosecutor's Office with the new attorney general, former Minister Dolores Delgado.

In addition to undermining the prosecution's conviction in a conviction, the first few bars of Trapero's defense's final report have sought to untie the sentence handed down by the Court from the one issued by the Supreme Court last October. It has done so in view of the fact that on Monday the Prosecutor's Office took pains to read "entire paragraphs" of that High Court resolution criticizing the actions of the Mossos in the events of September and October 2017. The lawyer has insisted that the facts proven in a sentence do not link what another of the same matter may have as proven, although the first is from the Supreme.

"While the prosecutor was reading entire paragraphs," said Tubau, "I was wondering what we have been doing here these months. What the prosecutors are proposing is that you take the sentence of the Supreme Court, make a short-cut of the allusions to the Mossos. , take facts proven by the Supreme Court, not by you, and in the operative part at the request of [Lieutenant Prosecutor] Carballo, convict for sedition and at the request of [Prosecutor] Rubira, condemn for disobedience. "

The lawyer has given "an example". The Supreme Court held that no reinforcements came to the mossos who were guarding the Ministry of Economy on September 20, and in the hearing of the Court, with many more pieces of evidence on the matter, it has been proven in their judgment that up to 397 agents reached throughout the day. "It is indisputable that the court's conclusion cannot coincide with that of the Supreme Court."

The defense has insisted on the "absolute disassociation of Trapero from the secessionist plan of the Govern" and has asked for his acquittal. In the event that the court convicted of sedition, the Prosecutor's Office asks the Major and the other two political leaders for 10 years in prison. If it were for disobedience, one year and eight months of disqualification. They would not enter prison but, in the case of the eldest, he would be expelled from the Mossos d'Esquadra.
