Mas files a complaint against Fernández Díaz and Cospedal for Operation Catalunya and espionage with Pegasus.

BarcelonaArtur Mas files a complaint against former Interior Minister Jorge Fernández Díaz and former PP Secretary General María Dolores de Cospedal for Operation Catalunya and also for espionage with Pegasus. The former president has also included former Secretary of State for Security Francisco Martínez and senior officials Eugenio Pino and Marcelino Martín-Blas in the complaint. Likewise, he has added to the list of defendants the former directors of the CNI, Félix Sanz Roldán and Paz Esteban, in addition to the heads of the company that marketed the spy software with Pegasus. NSO is trying to be behind personal and political views and alter the election results." However, he does not rule out that during the course of the judicial process he could extend the complaint to former Spanish President Mariano Rajoy and former Spanish Vice President Soraya Sáenz de Santamaría, whom he believes were involved in everything. To begin with, Maslic has filed the entry for falsification of an official document by a public official, misappropriation of public resources, disclosure of secrets by public officials, and violation of fundamental rights. where he recalled that between 2012 and 2015 is when he began to be spied on via mobile phone, but that this continued until 2020. "The objective was the same, to combat ideas and to eliminate people and political ideas. They started with Operation Catalunya and continued with Pegasus [...], "What they fundamentally wanted to destroy was Convergència," he said.

The complaint comes after RAC1 published that the former president was also spied on by Pegasus and that, in fact, he was the first victim of the State - and the second in the world - because he suffered thirty infections on his mobile phone between the 20th and 8 pm. New evidence has emerged about the network that acted against the independence movement, such as the conversation between former commissioner José Manuel Villarejo and the former number two of the PP María Dolores de Cospedal in which they praised the fact that CiU had gone from 62 to 50 seats in the 2012 Catalan elections and about the paper.

So far, the complaints filed for Operation Catalunya have not prospered in court, but the investigation is making its way for Pegasus spying on pro-independence leaders, in which former CNI director Paz Esteban is accused. In this regard, the former president explained that the fact that courts have allowed complaints about Pegasus has led him to decide to file his own. The case has received "extremely harsh punishments," but the "aggressor" has not been "investigated." In fact, he lamented the "immense laziness" of the Spanish judicial system in investigating this entire plot.

Although their names appear in the document, Mas has not yet included Rajoy and Sáenz de Santamaría as defendants because he wants "more evidence to confirm" their participation in Operation Catalunya. However, the former president is "convinced" that they were involved. In this sense, he believes that the judicial process that will be opened will provide "decisive evidence" to include them. He also believes that Mariano Rajoy was at the head of the Spanish government. However, he also trusts that the conclusions of the Congressional commission of inquiry into Operation Catalunya will be brought to the attention of the Prosecutor's Office "for action."
