The Barcelona Court has archived the case in which the former CUP deputy, Anna Gabriel, was prosecuted for an alleged crime of disobedience for her alleged participation in the Unilateral Declaration of Independence (DUI) of 1-O.
In the order, the court decides to archive the case as requested by both Gabriel herself and the Prosecutor's Office, concluding that the events attributed to the former CUP deputy did not constitute a crime. Vox, which was the other private prosecutor in the case, has not commented within the period given by the court to do so and therefore her requests could not be considered.
Thus, the court has agreed to the free dismissal of the case and the definitive file, a decision that comes a year after the proceedings reached the Barcelona Court from the Supreme Court. The case was heard in the Supreme Court by the instructor of the 'procés', Pablo Llarena, and was transferred to Barcelona after both the Prosecutor's Office and Gabriel's defense claimed it because she was no longer certified.
Anna Gabriel voluntarily appeared in the Supreme Court in July 2022 after returning from Switzerland, where she had been on the run since she was prosecuted in 2018 and where she currently lives. At that time, the Prosecutor's Office asked to transfer her case to the Barcelona Court with the intention that this court would try her accused of disobedience, but she has finally given up the accusation of her considering that she did not commit any crime.
