The Anticorruption Prosecutor's Office presented its indictment against the Pujol family this Friday.

The former president of the Generalitat is claiming nine years in prison for the crimes of belonging to an illicit association (four years) and money laundering (five years).

The highest penalty corresponds to his first-born, Jordi Pujol Ferrusola, who is claimed a total of 29 years in prison.

In his case, he is charged with five tax crimes (three years each) and one economic crime, that of frustration of execution (another two years).

On the other hand, Marta Ferrusola, the wife of the former president of the Generalitat of Catalonia Jordi Pujol, is outside the investigation that the National Court is following on her family's assets.

Judge Santiago Pedraz has filed the case for her based on her state of health.

In a car, the head of the Central Court of Instruction 5 has thus agreed to the request made by the defense of Ferrusola, who had requested the file for her, claiming that she suffers from dementia and providing medical documentation to prove it.


Ferrusola was prosecuted for allegedly joining, together with his family, a criminal organization designed to accumulate an "excessive wealth directly related to economic perceptions derived from corrupt activities."

In his order, Pedraz indicates that "the circumstances that concur in the present case and that are described by the forensic doctor must be taken into account."

The facts investigated by the instructor could constitute crimes of criminal organization or illicit association, money laundering, against the Public Treasury and documentary falsification.

Santiago Pedraz attends, in this way, to the request of the Prosecutor's Office, which requested a forensic medical examination and, once carried out, decided not to oppose the file, without prejudice to the transfer to the Public Ministry of the reports incorporated into the procedure in order to urge their incapacitation before the civil jurisdiction.

The forensic doctor concluded that Ferrusola suffers from moderately severe Alzheimer's disease of five years of evolution.

"As the Public Prosecutor's Office indicates, the circumstances that concur in this case and that are described by the forensic doctor must be taken into account (...) with this, it is necessary to order the filing of these proceedings," the magistrate specified in his decision. .

The Pujol Ferrusola family will go to trial in the coming months for the crimes of

criminal organization or illicit association, money laundering, crime against the Public Treasury or document falsification.

Last April, the National Court supported José de la Mata's instruction and brought the case to trial.

The procedure was initiated by

reason of the hidden inheritance in Andorra of former president Jordi Pujol in 2014 and will seat Pujol, his seven children and 18 other people, most of them businessmen.
