A judge has formally processed three Mossos d'Esquadra officers accused of assisting the escape of former Catalan president Carles Puigdemont following his brief reappearance in Barcelona on August 8, 2024. The judicial decision follows an investigation into allegations that the officers coordinated to facilitate his departure from the city after the event.
The magistrate’s ruling marks a shift in the legal proceedings, as the case had previously been archived due to an initial lack of evidence of a crime. With the officers now processed, the court has granted the involved parties a ten-day period to submit their formal accusations and request the opening of an oral trial or, alternatively, move for the case to be dismissed.
