The Spanish Court of Auditors has today known the 42 members of the Generalitat leadership in the independence process.

The lawyers of those affected have three hours to read the 504 pages document and then 10 minutes to claim "in voce". Upon receipt of the notification, the 42 former senior officials will have a period of 15 days to face the country’s coasts.

The Court of Auditors added to the sanction of EUR 4.1 million the economic sanction of EUR 5,422,879.48, as the Court estimated that the illegal referendum of 1 October 2017 had a cost of EUR 4.1 million.
