BARCELONA, 26 Abr. (EUROPA PRESS) –

The Prosecutor’s Office considers it “unnecessary” to investigate more subsidy files from the Barcelona City Council to social entities in search of more alleged irregularities in addition to those already being investigated.

In a letter to which Europa Press has had access, the prosecutor claims that it is “excessive, unnecessary and lacking in legal criteria” to ask the City Council to deliver to the judge all the agreements with entities and all the subsidies that it granted between 2014 and 2021 in case there were more alleged irregularities.

This letter responds to the request of the Association for Transparency and Democratic Quality (ATCD), which filed the lawsuit in which the mayor of Barcelona, ​​Ada Colau, is being investigated for alleged embezzlement, prevarication, fraud, prohibited negotiations and drug trafficking. influences.

The association asked the judge to demand more documentation to look for other possible irregularities, which in the opinion of the prosecutor would be a “preventive investigation without cause that justifies it.”

The prosecutor recalls that the complaint referred to files of specific subsidies, and believes that there is “not a single indication to justify the indiscriminate contribution of all the files.”
