The judge of the National Court Santiago Pedraz has archived the piece that affects the young son of the former Catalan president, Oleguer Pujol, for the alleged money laundering in a real estate operation together with his partner Luis Iglesias through the company Drago Capital.
According to the brief order of the instructor, “it is appropriate to decree the provisional dismissal of these proceedings, taking into account that the proceedings do not duly justify the commission of any crime.”
For Pedraz, despite the procedures carried out “there is no basis to even appreciate evidence of any crime, and those that were supplied were mere suspicions, not suitable for following criminal proceedings.”
However, Oleguer Pujol continues to be accused, like the rest of his brothers and his father, the former president of the Generalitat Jordi Pujol for the undeclared accounts in Andorra, a matter that is pending trial.
Pedraz already archived in 2021 the part that affected Iglesias, considering that the participation of Iglesias -son-in-law of the former president of the Valencian Community and former Minister of Labor Eduardo Zaplana- in the facts that Oleguer Pujol was accused of was not duly justified. Two years later, the magistrate has also closed the case regarding him.
The investigation into these events began with a complaint from the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office in 2014, which had already initiated an investigation into the fortune of the Pujol family, when it was verified that the origin of part of the amounts invested by Oleguer Pujol came “from a place common to his brothers.
