A meeting with Cospedal was the origin of ‘Operation Catalonia’, according to Villarejo’s agendas

  • The former commissioner promptly informed the PP and the Government of Rajoy about the presentation of complaints and the information obtained

  • Alleged foreign accounts of Mas and Trias, the Pujol case and their meetings with a son of the ‘expresident’ are recorded in the annotations

Very affective and complicit meeting. Very attentive to everything and took note of details. Agree on the importance of the moment& rdquor ;. This is how ex-commissioner José Manuel Villarejo recalls the meeting he held on October 26, 2012 with the then general secretary of the PP, Maria Dolores de Cospedal, which her husband also attended, Ignacio López del Hierro, and that practically kicks off the “Operation Catalonia”, as he wrote in their diaries.

With the word “Barna”, the former commissioner and main defendant in the Tandem case, in which the police sewers are being investigated, is introducing the meetings he holds, his interlocutor and keywords such as “Andorra & rdquor accounts; or the progress of the complaints that it helps to present: that of the employer Javier de la Rosa and of Victoria Alvarez, ex-partner of the first-born of the former president of the Generalitat Jordi Pujol, which he calls “Viki & rdquor ;.

With his annotations it is verified that he reported day to day to the PP, through Cospedal, and to the Executive, through the Secretary of State for Security, Francisco Martínez, whom he calls ‘Chisco’, that he is also charged with the Kitchen and with whom he has been in frequent communication since, at least, he was chief of staff of the Minister of the Interior, Jorge Fernandez Diaz. On October 8, 2012 he comments that “he is very pissed off with the whistle& rdquor; to the hymn and the next day he already talks about “CiU matter. Barna-Pin (he asks Pin)& rdquor ;, referring to the then Deputy Director of Operations, Eugenio Pino.

Town official

In Villarejo’s annotations, ‘Chisco’ is very upset with his predecessor in the Secretary of State: on October 10, 2012, the ex-police officer notes: “He speaks very badly of the SE He says that he is a town official who does not know how to do anything right”.

In the meeting on the 26th with Cospedal, the former commissioner writes without further specifying: “Make an appointment with Alicia& rdquor ;. Four days later ILH, acronyms that coincide with those of her husband, adds that it gives “several touches because Alicia S. Camacho was not at the hotel & rdquor;, in reference to the then leader of the Catalan PP, Alicia Sánchez Camacho.

In the entry of November 6, several mobiles appear, among them those of the former Catalan president Artur Mas and Oriol Pujol, the only one of the sons who was dedicated to politics. Among his papers there is a document entitled “Barna & rdquor; work plan, dated the day before, in which he writes more than twenty points, in which he quotes the media, but also Daniel Osacar, the former CDC treasurer convicted in the Palau case and charged with 3%, as well as “AM accounts of Father Luxembourg”, “Palau, personal accounts”, “mossos corruption” y “Andorra bankers contacts& rdquor; next to which it adds “documents Vital !!”.

“Minister big fight & rdquor;

As their agendas advance, Villarejo introduces characters, depending on how he talks to them or about them. On December 6, in an entry related to a complaint against the UDEF, in which it said that the police unit “denies link to draft& rdquor ;, Pino makes a comment that the ex-policeman synthesizes like this: “Minister great anger for not controlling& rdquor ;. Along with the acronym for Javier de la Rosa he adds “mossos will protect you”.

December 2012 was a month with many annotations: “Report Wiki& rdquor ;, for a few days later to add that it is “very fly and angry& rdquor; He doesn’t want to talk to him anymore, although he later testifies to Anti-Corruption. In between, Villarejo says that he spoke with Cotino, referring to the former Director General of the Police Juan Cotino, “to be able to transmit to Rajoy everything”.

According to Villarejo, Cospedal showed himself “very worried& rdquor; for the arrests of Method 3 in February 2013 and adds: “ILH. He wants everything to stop, he denies that he was billed. Bárcenas recording& rdquor ;. He also cites the one made from the food kept by Victoria Álvarez and Alicia Sánchez Camacho.

The great moment

That year the “Operation Catalonia & rdquor; combines with the Kitchen. In January 2014 he meets Viki again and talks about “Possible source of CiU judicial mafia& rdquor ;. In February it refers to the “complaint Artur Mas& rdquor; and in April he meets Álvarez for “comment and subscription of the month& rdquor ;. That month they break into Viki’s home and take her computer.

In July is when the ‘expresident’ makes a statement acknowledging his fortune in Andorra, which is why Cospedal sends him an SMS, saying that “as always I do not answer & rdquor ;, and Pino shows himself”happy very briefly”.

The annotations continue with the former CDC deputy Felipe Puig and his “brother charged on Mercury“, which lead to Josep Pujol, to the one who proposes in September “see his father and even his brother before declaring& rdquor; and they remain in “keep talking& rdquor ;. That same month López del Hierro is very concerned about appearing related to the Pujol businesses.

The most extensive and general entry of all is that of October 8, 2014. It is headed by “Chisco & rdquor; and Villarejo’s summary is: “Joaquin Nadal. PSC and CDC. Financing of private parties and commissions. Rusiñol: financing of the council. Payments. Puerto del Rosario. Badia partner of Puig y Pujol willing to collaborate with justice. CDC denounces Esquerra in Anti-Corruption. Hnos Trias new 20 million from Switzerland to Andorra. Judge Aguirre wanting to continue charging& rdquor ;. Practically judicially, only the Pujol case was finalized, which is pending trial.
