El gobierno español arrestó a altos cargos del gobierno catalán

The public prosecutor's version of 20S!
Widespread suspicion this was all staged in the hope of being able to say this was a violent uprising, rebellion, sedition...
Why did Spanish police not park in the Department garage? Why were the cars not guarded?
Why were they not locked?
Why were weapons left inside them (And recovered!)?
She were Catalan police not forewarned about the raid(s)?
Tec.
