01/29/2020 1:29 p.m.: "We devoted 90,000 hours of the Mossos during the 1st of October, on the 21st of D we spent 84,000 hours, bearing in mind that they had 4 hours to go to vote; never again have we seen such an operation", says López.
01/29/2020 1:21 p.m.: On September 29, a meeting was held with De los Cobos, where it was established, at the request of the Coordinator, to set up tracking cells and launch the "event manager".

01/29/2020 1:17 p.m.: Lopez describes the 1-Oct action plan that De los Cobos described as "labyrinthine". "It is easier than it seems, in fact it's the usual procedure of any procedure," the commander emphasizes.

01/29/2020 12:03 p.m.: "Neither Junqueras nor Forn said anything at the meeting on the 28th," Lopez says. Puigdemont only spoke to claim that they had a mandate to fulfil. "It was nothing new, where Puigdemont could say he would go ahead."
01/29/2020 11:59 a.m.: "Castellví attended the meeting in Palau because it was he that had most information", he justifies. "No police radar detected any organization for violent acts, no police radar," Lopez insists.
01/29/2020 11:57 a.m.: Lopez also sadly comments that they were "warned by the Constitutional Court". He adds that Commander Castellví, the Chief Information Officer, had warned him about his concerns about what might happen".

29/01/2020 11:36 a.m.
Lopez says with pride that the Mosses spoke of "prudence" and "proportionality". "These were difficult days," the Commander, who does not lose his smile, recalls. "We were complying with the orders of the prosecutor and the judge, with proportionality, and this is perfectly compatible".
29/01/2020 11:32 a.m.
These are the minutes of the September 21 meeting at which Chief Commissioner Trapero assembled the entire prefecture to review the Agora Plan. Prosecutor Rubira got himself in a mess and confused the review with "criticism". "We always engage in self-criticism," Lopez replied.

01/28/2020 1:57 p.m.: "No
one could know if the referendum could be stopped, it would be a
future," the Cobos responds to Tubau as to whether it could be stopped.
01/28/2020 1:56 p.m.: De los Cobos notes now that Nieto ordered the 1-O loads
01/28/2020 1:53 p.m.: De los Cobos admits that many Mossos were mobilized, but not in a "proper" way . In any case, he does not see that they took part in a "decisive" way.

was expecting the Mossos, seeing what happened on October 1st, would
return to the side ..., to the side ... well" (He was hesitant to find
the antonym of dark)
01/28/2020 1:16 p.m.: De los Cobos says they should have avoided a scenario of "civil confrontation", which
is why "we made sure that the bad relationship with Chief Commissioner Trapero did not
contaminate everything". The Major looks at him frowning from his seat.
01/28/2020 1:14 p.m.: Tubau brandsihes an email from the coordinator to Commissioner López where he says goodbye with an "abrazo" ("hug"). "In
an environment that you describe as a betrayal, do you give the
Mossos' number two a hug?" Chief Commissioner Trapero's lawyer asks adeptly.
01/28/2020 1:12 p.m.: Tubau makes a closing maneuver to De los Cobos. The
colonel does not know how to justify why if they knew that the Mossos were not closing the schools they did not act earlier to close them. He replies that this was the job of the Mossos.
01/28/2020 1:08 p.m.: De los Cobos argues that they did not close any schools despite the fact that they could act "on their own initiative" because there would be a "qualitative leap that would lead to serious disruption of public order". "We were the last resort, once it was found that the operation was ineffective, inefficient and inadequate," he recalls. They could apparently see all this at eight o'clock in the morning.
01/28/2020 1:05 p.m.: Tubau extracts reports from the Spanish Police Brigades' Information Brigades that checked centres but did not close them down. "It was not included that either the GC or the CNP should have to close schools," claims De los Cobos.
01/28/2020 12:48 p.m.: De los Cobos believes that the proportional use of force is not an impediment to its use, unlike what Chief Commissioner Trapero argued.

01/28/2020 12:44 p.m.: De
los Cobos describes the 28-Day Security Board's agenda as "outrageous"
because it talked about coordinating police forces to cope with the
"self-determination referendum". Chief Commissioner Trapero made no reference to "preventing the referendum" but rather to the principles of police action.
01/28/2020 12:37 p.m.: De los Cobos insists on his personal perception that Chief Commissioner Trapero was aligned with Puigdemont. "We knew they wouldn't play all the cards in their hand, but that the table would not be left cardless".
01/28/2020 12:35 p.m.: The hearing resumes after a short break. De
los Cobos explains that he asked for an interview with Mercedes de Armas, High Court judge, for her to clarify [what she meant by] "without altering citizen coexistence [public peace]."
"He replied that it was like saying water is wet."
01/28/2020 12:14 p.m.: According to the coordinator's thesis if the Mossos had issued an ultimatum to Puigdemont, he would have called off the referendum.
1/28/2020 12:11 p.m.: De
los Cobos does not know how to justify why the Spanish Government
Delegate on 1-Oct, Enric Millo, had the list of 233 schools in which the Mossos
requested intervention, when it was sent only to the Coordinator.
01/28/2020 12:05 p.m.: "He did not consider Commander Ferran López to be Chief Commissioner Trapero's right hand man", he concludes. "The command is one-person, not shared or delegated, which is why ihe gets a higher salary", he warns.
01/28/2020 12:00 p.m.: De los Cobos explains that they decided not to continue coordination but to continue communication. However, the CNP and GC agreed to restrict the information we would give to the other corps. The rupture took place at the TSJC.
01/28/2020 11:43 a.m.: De los Cobos claims that it was a "personal perception" to consider that Chief Commissioner Trapero thinks the same as Puigdemont because they used the same words: "to maintain civic coexistence" [public peace].
01/28/2020 11:39 p.m.: De los Cobos, visibly excited, "I interpreted it as a contempt of Trapero that he did not want to meet with me, and that if I wanted to meet him, to speak to his secretary, or that he did not heed the Prosecutor's recommendation to attend the Coordination Meetings".
01/28/2020 11:34 a.m.: De los Cobos denies having authority. "If
the judge (of the TSJC) had wanted me to have some responsibility for
the entire operation, I think I would have been a recipient of the
September 27 ruling".
01/28/2020 11:31 a.m.: De
los Cobos now explains that article 46.2 of the State Security Forces
and Forces Law determines that in an "unforeseen circumstance" the command will be of the
Spanish national police (CNP) and Civil Guard. "There could be concurrences of joint corps operations and if this happened the CNP and Guardia Civil were in charge."
01/28/2020 11:25 a.m.: De los Cobos emphasizes that minutes of the coordination meetings were not drafted because they were "informal". Although he admits that Chief Commissioner Trapero asked for them at a meeting with the public prosecutor.
01/28/2020 11:22 a.m.: De los Cobos admits that the intervention of the CNP and GC in polling stations "was a significant qualitative leap that
could cause more problems than if the Mossos d'Esquadra did, (...) We
were the last resort because we knew that this qualitative leap would not
be easy".
A shot during Tubau's cross-examination of Pérez de los Cobos, with Trapero (p)
01/28/2020 11:16 a.m.: De los Cobos justifies the intervention by the "inaction of the Mossos". "There was no good solution, we had to choose the least bad of the least bad solutions ; we knew it would not be hard, but we were there to do what we did not do what we wanted," he concludes.
01/28/2020 11:12 a.m.: Tubau hammers the question, "With 8,000 CNP and Civil Guard personnel and 60% of them were antiriot police ... how many polling stations did you close?"
De los Cobos: "113".
Tubau: "113 out of ... 2,300".
01/28/2020 11:10 a.m: De los Cobos details that the Prosecutor's Office ordered the Mossos and if they called on them, the Civil Guard and CNP were to act. However, he details that the two police forces did information work and "divided Catalonia into zones".
01/28/2020 11:02 a.m.: Tubau asks him why he did not go to CECOR, when from there he could have take note of the action of the Mossos. De los Cobos says that it was the way to "not contaminate" and to "remove any kind of suspicion" from the command centres. He also details that it could have been a "poisoned gift". He insists that the Mossos' plan was not only to facilitate the referendum, but also to "pretend" that it was being impeded.
01/28/2020 10:55 a.m.: Tubau delves into the paired Mossos and makes some calculations. First, she asks De los Cobos if the prosecution's order was for all the polling stations. He answers yes. "And how many police would be needed?", replies the lawyer. The colonel says that "it was not necessary to go to all at the same time".
01/28/2020 10:53 a.m.: The coordinator explains that it was the form of the paired Mossos that did not make the Mossos action credible. "It would have been different if the paired Mossos had been warning that the intervention teams would come," he says.
01/28/2020 10:52 a.m.: De los Cobos notes that "the plan of Trapero on the 21st speaks of 'teams' that seemed of little entity (...), the term "paired Mossos" was not used at coordination meetings".
01/28/2020 10:47 a.m.: Tubau asks about the intelligence assessments of the Spanish police about possible riots. De los Cobos responds that "there was never talk of figures at coordination meetings". "Only Trapero spoke of a million people at the Security Board".
01/28/2020 10:45 a.m.: Sra. Tubau: "You did not value that Trapero sent Lopez to create a more positive work climate".
De los Cobos: "I was more comfortable with López, but that does not mean that it wasn't the Major's snub, (...) it affected not the content, but the form".
Olga Tubau, during the cross-examination (p)
01/28/2020 10:42 a.m.: Sra. Tubau reads out various Spanish media headlines which reported on the difference in positions between the Catalan Interior Minister and the Mossos. He does not remember.
01/28/2020 10:38 a.m.: Police coordinator says the CNP and Guardia Civil were to contribute 4,000 police officers each, to prevent the referendum. But De los Cobos did not yet know the number of Mossos yet.
01/28/2020 10:37 a.m.: Col. De los Cobos emphasizes the idea that Chief Commissioner Trapero always intervenes in meetings "by putting spokes in the wheels". As being "impertinent". In contrast, he recognizes that the chief prosecutor never scolded him.
01/28/2020 10:35 a.m.: Sra. Tubau, with serenity and a well-worked script, makes witness De los Cobos uncomfortable, and he gets alarmed at some point during his testimony.
01/28/2020 10:32 p.m.: Clash of Tubau and De los Cobos over the instructions of the Public Prosecutor's Office. The lawyer recalls that the prosecutor's office was ordering to coordinate "the operation." The colonel says no, he said the "operations". Tubau wins when she reminds him that she is talking about the operation in relation to Article 46.
01/28/2020 10:29 a.m.: The police coordinator against the referendum admits that he did not ask the Senior Prosecutor to demand from the Mossos the action plan because "he was not an authority himself."
01/28/2020 10:27 a.m.: De los Cobos insists to Chief Commissioner Trapero's counsel that he never fully trusted the Mossos. "It was better to go with the Mossos even if it was 60%, in the end we were wrong," he says.
01/28/2020 10:25 a.m.: De los Cobos claims that given his doubts he asked Commander Ferran López if they had the will to close polling stations. The commander replieed that "yes, they would close polling stations".
01/28/2020 10:23 a.m.: Chief Commissioner Trapero sits next to his counsel and thus looks Colonel De los Cobos in the face. The colonel says that the concern about "the Mossos' plan was not the details but the will of the Catalan police".

01/28/2020 10:21 a.m.: The lawyer asks Col. De los Cobos how he could coordinate the plans of three police corps if he did not know them. The colonel "plays the violin" talking that the criteria needed to be harmonized.
01/28/2020 10:16 a.m.: The interrogation begins with Chief Commissioner Trapero's counsel, Sra. Olga Tubau.

already acting as a judicial police against the referendum. They no
longer acted as a governing police force. He adds that they extend
hours and resources to attend the Prosecutor's requests. "We
couldn't intervene otherwise," he concludes.

10:49 am
Soler
insists the Prosecutor does not know what role Jordi Sànchez had in
the 20S. He found out the next day. "I suppose I was negotiating
with the Civil Guard and Mossos," he says. He assures that he
was not aware of the entire operation or why. He tried to talk to the
Major early but couldn't speak until noon. "I was worried, of
course, but at no point was there any attempt to reach."
01/23/2020
10:41 a.m.
Soler
details his role in the 20S. "It was not my responsibility,"

01/23/2020
10:36 a.m.
The
former Director General of Police has denied access to the post due
to his political positions. In fact, he explained that he had been
offered the same job before and had not been accepted for work
reasons.
01/23/2020
10:32 a.m.
Soler
details that Chief Commissioner Trapero asked him not to make any more tweets

defend himself from tweets written in 2016 about the PSOE federal
committee.

in the referendum.
01/23/2020
10:25 a.m.
Soler
now excuses the remarks of the then-councilor Forn, saying that "the

thing is statements and another is what the press says," he
argues.
1/23/2020
10:22 a.m.
The

01/23/2020
10:12 a.m.
Fiscal
Lieutenant Carballo questions Soler about his knowledge of the

by the headlines but not in depth.

10:10 am
Detail
in the view room. Chief Commissioner Trapero is no longer sitting on the bench of

Laplana
claims never to have met with the Major or any politician to discuss
the process. "Not at all." He ends his statement. He will
not return to the Audience until the last word.
1/22/2020
2:40 p.m.
"There
have never been any attempts of violent entry by protesters into the
Economy department," Laplana said. "It was never my
intention to hinder police diligence," he added.
01/22/2020
2:38
Laplana
has 100 incoming and 98 outgoing calls. Two of Mossos' companions
brought about 18 sandwiches for the judicial committee, which gave
him "two pieces of sandwiches".

minute.

2:33 p.m.
"Sánchez
could say whatewver he liked, he could not decide anything, he is nobody to give a
warrant to the police, he did not listen to what he said, the
detainees would have entered as the command had decided, what he said
was worthless and he had a zero capacity for advocacy, "he
insists.
01/22/2020
2:31 p.m.
Tubau
requests clarification if Chief Commissioner Trapero's command to speak to Sánchez was
"imperative". "No, the Chief Commissioner me to speak to him
because he offered to articulate a safety cord," he says.
01/22/2020
2:30 p.m.
Prosecutor
Rubira's interrogation of Laplana ends. It is now the turn of her
defence lawyer Olga Tubau. He asks her if she had met Jordi Sànchez
before. "No, I had never had a relationship before"
01/22/2020
2:27 p.m.
Laplana
explains that Jordi Sànchez was "annoyed
and angry" by the first
BRIMO manoeuvres to make a cordon and prepare for the departure of the
judicial committee. "I
told him this was a police decision that he had nothing to say about", she says.
01/22/2020
2:14 p.m.
Laplana
insists that he transmitted to the CECOR the information he had, as did
those in charge of information or public order who were in the
department. There, the commands analyzed the information and made the
decisions.
01/22/2020
2:11 p.m.
Laplana
says he only spoke to Sánchez three times because his superiors
asked him to. It is also noteworthy that it was not usual for him to
be called by Chief Commissioner Trapero.
01/22/2020
2:09
Laplana
reminds Prosecutor Rubira that he does not find out that there are
weapons in the vehicles of the Guardia Civil at 2 pm in a meeting at
the headquarters of the Economy.
01/22/2020
1:55 p.m.
Rubira
asks Laplana how he contacted Jordi Sànchez - "a person already
convicted," the Prosecutor recalls. The intendant details that
Chief Commissioner Trapero telephoned her to inform her that Sánchez had offered to
volunteer.
1/22/2020
1:49 p.m.
Laplana
explains that he asked Ferran López how to make the device for the
arrival of the detainees. "He called me to call Brimo's head,"
says he spoke to Brimo, Deputy Inspector Martin, number two, who
asked him to wait for Economy to arrive shortly.
01/22/2020
1:46 p.m.
Prosecutor
Rubira is now asking one of the controversies of the day:the arrival
of detainees at the department's headquarters. "All requests
arrived within a quarter of an hour," he emphasizes.
1/22/2020
1:44 p.m.
Rubira
reviews Laplana's minute and diligence on the 20S. In fact, the
Intendant insists that whenever they ask for public order support, he
transfers the request to CECOR.
01/22/2020
1:33 p.m.
Rubira
reproaches Laplana to go fast in his statement. "You seem like
an opponent reciting the topics," he jokes
01/22/2020
1:31 p.m.
Rubira
asks because he did not articulate the cord when he arrived. Laplana
reminds her that she was not the head of the operation because there
were 44 more entries. "I was a qualified, rank-and-file item for
reporting to the Civil Guard but not responsible for the operation."
01/22/2020
1:28 p.m.
Laplana
goes on to explain how he managed the first moments of the 20S once
he arrived at the Department of Economics at 9 am. "The attitude
of the concentrates was demanding or very demanding," he says.
01/22/2020
1:25 p.m.
Prosecutor
Rubira, who interrogates Laplana, is the same prosecutor who
maintained the indictment to Sandro Rosell. The trial ended with the
acquittal of the former Barça president.
01/22/2020
1:23 p.m.
Rubira
asks how it says that there were 700 people in front of Economy and
now he says 1,000. And Gaudí 200 said about 300. Laplana says that
she is not an expert in counting people but she does say that there
were a lot of people.
01/22/2020
1:21 p.m.
Attorney
Rubira skates and asks Laplana about Unipost's search. Laplana
reminds her that she is responsible for the Eixample. Unipost, in
Terrassa, is a little far away.
01/22/2020
1:19 p.m.
Laplana
tells the Prosecutor that despite being on leave, he decided to
attend the Department of Economy in the early morning. He even asked
for a car from Mossos. The driver could not leave her at the door due
to the concentration of people there.
01/22/2020
1:14 p.m.
Teresa
Laplana tells the Prosecutor the usual police signals of the Mossos
such as Gaudí (vehicles of the Mossos in the Eixample), Comtal 100
(Shift head of the Barcelona Region) and the acronyms Brimo and Arro.

1:06 p.m.
Prosecutor

events of 20S six days later, after the Prosecutor's Office filed a
complaint for the riots.

from sight. Chief Commissioner Trapero's interrogation ends. At one, the view is
restarted.
01/22/2020
12:24 p.m.
Trapero
has made it clear to the Court that he declined to make the leap to
politics. In fact, she told her lawyer, Olga Tubau, that no party
called her. He also refused to re-command the Catalan police.
1/22/2020
12:15 p.m.
01/22/2020
12:14 p.m.
He
continues the Major's statement to questions of his letter. After
explaining the operative plan for Government detention he has now
received the accusations regarding his emails.
01/22/2020
12:05 p.m.
Trapero
set out to detain Puigdemont in person. López and Molinero told him
no and to stay in Egara.
01/22/2020
12:04 p.m.
"It
was easy for 2.3 million people on the street and 16,000 police on
the street to make a riot," he warned. "We criticized
statements from Forn and Turull, and that the TC had been notified,"
he said.
01/22/2020
12:01 p.m.
Trapero
now recounts the two meetings in Palau between Government and members
of the Prefecture, on the 26th and 28th. The first, Chief Commissioner Trapero, López
and Molinero, raise concerns about 1-O and that they will comply with
what the Prosecutor's Office commands. On the 28th, Castellví and
Quevedo are added, stating that "they
are many concerned about citizen security".
01/22/2020
11:56 a.m.
"On
the first of October I did not speak with Jordi Sànchez, or later,
only on the 20S and at the request of the Interior Minister,"
says Chief Commissioner Trapero.
1/22/2020
11:54 a.m.
The
Major explains that on 29 it was agreed that CECORs had to
incorporate the commands of all the police. Track cells and launch
the "Event Manager"
application , which never
works.
01/22/2020
11:51 a.m.
The
Major emphasizes that only 42% of the schools closed by the Mossos
are from towns with less than 1,000 inhabitants. He further added
that universal voting distorts turnout data by population.
01/22/2020
11:49 am
"Before
the first of October the Mossos did not close a school, but neither
the Civil Guard nor the police," says Chief Commissioner Trapero, who shed how the
classrooms were inspected.
01/22/2020
11:44 am
Trapero
admits that on September 29 in the morning at the Egara Complex,
Commissioners López, Molinero and Quevedo plan to hold a press
conference after the "risks" we saw especially after the
meeting in Palau the day before. "In the end, we gave up and
thought about making a statement, which wasn't done, which I'm sorry
for," he says.
01/22/2020
11:42 a.m.
Trapero
assures that at the Security Board on September 28 the Government
showed no will that the referendum not be held.
01/22/2020
11:41 a.m.
The
Major insists that "on special days like those, with 2.3 million
people on the street, it is normal to remember the principles of
proportionality in the use of force." "They know it from
the Academy, but these special days need to be insisted on," he
says.
01/22/2020
11:39 a.m.
Trapero
details that Ferran López made it clear that "the device was a
unique set and a binomial for
each school". He
further added that the CNP
and Guardia Civil would have the "weight of public order"
given that they had the resources to do so.
01/22/2020
11:37 a.m.
Trapero
now describes how and who decided on the operational plan for October
1st. Two meetings two days before the referendum:one with upper body
commanders, and a second one, with 220 positions, from commissioners
to heads of territorial ABPs. The instructions were sent to all the
cash.
01/22/2020
11:32 a.m.
Trapero
emphasizes article 26.2 of the Law of Forces and Bodies of Security
of the State, that collects the interlocutory one, left in the hands
of the CNP and GC. "It's an article that has been
controversial," he says.
01/22/2020
11:28 a.m.
The
magistrate also removed the private centers, not the arranged ones,
from the call.
01/22/2020
11:28 a.m.
Chief Commissioner Trapero
understands that the call of the TSJC magistrate Mercedes Armas was
changing things. He emphasizes that the decision affected the three
police bodies as opposed to the instructions of the Prosecutor's
office that went to Mossos. In fact, the prosecutor's office claimed
to close schools by 1-O, the TSJC mandated that it be the same
October 1, so as not to affect activities.
01/22/2020
11:25 a.m.
"We
didn't have 2,300 chains and padlocks, but we did manage to buy
them," Chief Commissioner Trapero insists. The prosecutor told him that "the
one who called the 100-meter siege was also 50-meter. The Chief Commissioner also
noticed that there were private centers and asked to clarify how to
do this, for example, if a warrant had to be requested from the Court
of Instruction.
01/22/2020
11:22 a.m.
"Not
only was the closure also the siege, they were educational centers
that have events over the weekend, as well as health centers and city
councils," he says. "We are not here to solve problems but
to solve them," Chief Commissioner Trapero warned.
01/22/2020
11:21 a.m.
Tubau
gives the Instruction number 6 of the Office of the Public Prosecutor
that ordered the precinct of the electoral colleges. Chief Commissioner Trapero
described the problems involved in closing schools before 30, on
weekdays. "I presented it to the prosecutor's office at a
meeting on September 27," he emphasizes.
1/22/2020
11:17 a.m.
Chief Commissioner Trapero
says the Prosecutor's Office did not order a detention on the basis
of testimonies raised by the Mossos, identifying people suspected of
preparing for the referendum.
1/22/2020
11:15 a.m.
Instructions
4 and 6 of the Public Prosecutor's Office were specifically directed
to the Mossos to prevent the referendum. He adds that 172 witnesses
were made, based on instruction number 2, but he does not know how
many ended up in public prosecuted court proceedings.
01/22/2020
11:12 a.m.
"On
September 21 I have a meeting with the Prosecutor's Office and the
police do not tell me anything about the operation, but I did tell
Ángel (Chief of the Civil Guard in Catalonia, Ángel Gozalo) that if
there was an operative so be warned, "the Major details
01/22/2020
11:10 am
Trapero
states that "these were turbulent times." Specifically,
since 2010 protests have been commonplace. It also justifies the
creation of the Mediation Area, a "philosophy". "We
had 300 BRIMO troops and 60 charged!"
01/22/2020
11:06 am
Trapero
once again emphasizes that 268 law enforcement officers of which 160
were BRIMO and the rest ARRO covered the protest in front of Economy on 20S.
01/22/2020
11:04 a.m.
Tubau
also asks for the role of Intendant Laplana. Chief Commissioner Trapero exonerates her
from operational decisions that were no longer dependent on her. The
Major only had one encounter with Sánchez and after that he had one
with the then head of Brimo.
01/22/2020
11:00 a.m.
Attorney
Tubau wants to emphasize that Chief Commissioner Trapero and López did everything that
the Civil Guard claimed to them, and try to clarify how many
managements are not included in the list of submissions in the
summary.
01/22/2020
10:56 a.m.
Trapero
begins to tell her lawyer the action of the Mossos during the 20S. He
emphasizes that there were 9 mediation personnel in Economy. "Jordi
Sànchez was only doing what he was, president of the ANC," he
emphasized, saying that he did not mediate.
1/22/2020
10:54 a.m.
The
turn of the lawyer of Chief Commissioner Trapero, Olga Tubau. It reminds you initially
that Albert Batlle, the former Director General of Police, who
proposed him as Major, was from the PSC and was not linked to any of
the Puigdemont executive's governing parties.
01/22/2020
10:52 a.m.
Trapero
releases César Puig, secretary of the Interior Department, from
operational responsibilities and accused of rebellion.

says that Cesar Puig could "hear" and "comment on
operational meetings but never did."
01/22/2020
10:46 a.m.
Trapero
details the purchase of long arms to cover counterterrorism needs
through the Contingency Plans, which took a lot of money out of
Economics. "We started with GHG, then BRIMO and then ARRO,"
says the Major
1/22/2020
10:42 a.m.
It's
my turn now to Fermin Morales
, a lawyer for the former
Interior Two, Cesar Puig .
The lawyer wants to emphasize that his task was solely "management
and budgeting".
01/22/2020
10:41 a.m.
Trapero
insists Soler only decides whether to extend the cash. According to
the Major, Soler always
authorized the increase in required cash on 1-O and the Secretary
General paid .
01/22/2020
10:39 a.m.
According
to Chief Commissioner Trapero, Pere Soler had
no role in the plans of action. In fact, the Major says he did not
attend the meeting with 220 commands to explain the guidelines for
intervention.
01/22/2020
10:36 a.m.
Martell
casts an interrogation that seeks to remove his client from the core
of police decisions during his tenure as CEO and null intervention in
police technical decisions.
1/22/2020
10:29 a.m.
Trapero
claims that Pere Soler was not in the CECOR of the 20S. "It
could have been, it is not mandatory, only in case of dissolution,"
says the Major.
1/22/2020
10:23 a.m.
It
is the turn of the defenses, the lawyer of Pere Soler, the former
director general of the Police, Cristobal Martell. He asks about the
CECOR, what it is used for and who integrates it.

2:28 a.m.
Trapero
also explains that the President of the TSJC, Jesus Maria Barrientos,
called him in case he had considered making himself available to the
delegation of the Spanish government. Chief Commissioner Trapero recalls that it was not
clear what crime this could be. "We did not know what would
happen," he said. "Maybe we have some arrest warrant,"
we commented.
01/21/2020
2:23 p.m.
Trapero
admits to the Prosecutor that on Oct. 27 they prepared a plan to stop
the Puigdemont Government. He also contacted the President of the
TSJC and the Office of the Attorney General to make the Corps
available to him after the DUI. Tubau takes the floor and recalls
that he also spoke to the audience.
01/21/2020
2:20 p.m.

Trapero
and the Prosecutor keep a mine on the Mossos' internal communications

reminds the Prosecutor that the "referendum
was illegal and had no validity .

devices," says Chief Commissioner Trapero.
01/21/2020
1:29 p.m.
The
Prosecutor continues to ask one-on-one communications from the
binomials with the police command center. Chief Commissioner Trapero retorts by ensuring
that these communications attest to the work the Mossos did during
the referendum day.
01/21/2020
1:21 p.m.
Sources
of Interior and the dome of the Mossos are satisfied with the
statement of Chief Commissioner Trapero because it is shown that the "police
act by technical police and non-political criteria"
01/21/2020
1:19 p.m.
01/21/2020
1:15 p.m.
"The
attitude of the 7,800 officers of the Mossos was to prevent the
referendum, although within the collective, 5, 10 or 100 - I doubt
much more - for ideological reasons they did less than they had to;
now the Most of them were frustrated that we couldn't do more,
neither we, nor the three bodies, had the resources to stop 2,300,000
people. You could be guilty if you wanted to, "says Chief Commissioner Trapero.
01/21/2020

"It
is not an obsession; it is normal to file a record of police
actions," Chief Commissioner Trapero assuredly told the Prosecutor.
01/21/2020
12:59 p.m.
Carballo
tries to decipher how the chain of command worked during the First of

Trapero
expresses the "sadness" of having done his job and having

Olga
Tubau asks for the word and clarifies again a controversial
translation that has already come to the Supreme Court, with

01/21/2020
11:59 a.m.

again emphasizes the "surprise" involved in defending the
ballot box and justifies the plan of the binomials. "There was

The
Major demanded that the Director General of the Police, Pere Soler,
also charged, not file a complaint against the Prosecutor's Office.
"In most cases he did not say anything, it was extravagance, but
this was not I told him not to think so," he said. Soler was
already going to entrust him to the Minister of Justice, Carles
Mundó.
01/21/2020
11:37 a.m.
