The judge investigating the origin of the fortune hidden by Pujol family has asked Parliament to send the minutes of the hearing of the Catalan president Jordi Pujol, on 26 September. The judge agreed the measure at the request of anti-corruption prosecutor Alejandro Luzon, who recalls that Pujol himself admitted, in a statement, his family had a heritage in exranjero since 1980.
“As that the appearance of Jordi Pujol Soley to parliament of Catalonia was to elaborate on the origin of these funds, “says the prosecutor in his writing,” is of interest to the cause binding to these proceedings. “
On 26 September, Pujol appeared before the Corporate Affairs Commission of the Catalan Parliament. The president of the Generalitat insisted there without offering new details just that the money hidden in Andorra (about 3.4 million) came from an estate that his father, Florenci Pujol, bequeathed to the daughter, Marta Ferrusola, and seven children of the couple. Pujol also used the appearance to abroncar to opposition groups for their questions.
