The Catalan government, acting as the injured party in the legal proceedings regarding the 2017 independence process ('procés'), has formally renounced the recovery of approximately 5 million euros. This definitive renunciation stems from a written submission by Salvador Illa's administration.
The development effectively forces the Court of Accounts to apply Spain's amnesty law, which will spare the independentist figures involved from having to return the public funds. However, the case remains contested as Sociedad Civil Catalana continues to urge the court not to archive the proceedings without investigating whether European funds were involved.
