A week after Leire Díez handed over to the PSOE the pen drive With the information he has been gathering, several media outlets have begun publishing some of its content. The former Socialist activist revealed that it was documentation and audio recordings obtained as part of the alleged journalistic investigation he is conducting into the state's police sewers. The PSOE handed over the pen drive in the Prosecutor's Office Although, according to Díez, a large part of the files had already been processed for judicial review. However, among the audio recordings that have been revealed, there are also unpublished recordings that had not yet come to light.

In the interview published this Sunday by ARA, former president of the Generalitat (Catalan government) Artur Mas explains that he has already filed a complaint regarding the Catalunya operation, which he announced on Monday before the Congress of Deputies' commission of inquiry. The complaint has two legs. The first concerns the publication of fake news through the so-called "patriotic police," a maneuver orchestrated by former commissioner José Manuel Villarejo on behalf of the PP leadership, as evidenced by audio recordings provided by the former police officer himself. The second refers to the Pegasus spying of which Mas was a victim between 2015 and 2020, according to the specialized Canadian laboratory.

A new chapter in this great Spanish comedy about anything important related to Catalonia. I would never say it: now it turns out that even the PSOE has well-founded suspicions that Cospedal may have lied in Parliament (it's a crime) when she said that Operation Catalunya didn't ring a bell, despite the fact that in an audio recording she seemed so calm celebrating with Commissioner Villarejo that the fabrication of lies with public money had been involved in order to divert money from public contracts in order to pay off debts to illustrious police informants. The Socialists have become dignified: "We cannot accept as normal the serious audio recordings published [...] in which Cospedal points to theknowledge on the part of Mariano Rajoyof the facts being judged."

Journalist Antonio García Ferreras has defended himself today against accusations of having spread false news about Pablo Iglesias following the publication of some recordings made by former police superintendent José Manuel Villarejo. "We have never given false information knowing it was false, neither information about accounts in the Grenadines nor any other. Neither about Podemos nor about anyone else," said the journalist at the beginning of the broadcast of Al rojo vivo, the programme he directs and presents on La Sexta, a channel of which he is also a director. This weekend Crónica Libre published some recordings made by Villarejo in which a conversation between the former superintendent and Ferreras can be heard. In the recordings, the journalist doubts the veracity of the information about Pablo Iglesias's alleged bank accounts in the Grenadines, a tax haven, which was given to him by Eduardo Inda, a journalist from OK Diario. "I told him: 'Eduardo, this is very serious. I'll go with it, but it's very delicate and too crude," Ferreras says in the recording.

Former Catalan police chief constable Josep Lluís Trapero has returned to court a year and a half after being acquitted by Spain's High Court. This time he has done it to testify as a witness in the trial of an alleged plot of police corruption and drug trafficking, known as the 'Macedonia' case, which had him in the spotlight for nearly a decade. Trapero was never investigated in the case, but for eight years the judge suspected some of his subordinates, members of the Catalan police's anti-corruption unit, over their relationship with an informant, Manuel Gutiérrez Carbajo, whom the prosecution considers the leader of a drug gang. The major agreed with the defence, which claims former superintendent José Manuel Villarejo took advantage of the Macedonia case to discredit Trapero and the Catalan police force.

While waiting for the president of the Spanish government or a minister to make a statement, its delegate in Catalonia, Teresa Cunillera, has assured that former superintendent José Manuel Villarejo "has no credibility" after he linked the Spanish National Intelligence Centre (CNI) with the attacks in Barcelona and Cambrils in August 2017. "He has a long history of trying to sow shadows of suspicion without ever providing evidence," she denounced in a press conference, where she insisted that "the insinuations have no logical or material basis." "There is no other explanation than the desire to stir trouble", she continued. Cunillera also regretted that Villarejo is given credibility by some and has addressed the Catalan government especially to ask it "not to play [Villarejo's] game" because in Catalonia "there is no need for tension". "To what extent do we want to make a lie big and give credibility to those who accuse without evidence?" he asked. He also demanded "respect" for the victims and the investigation that was made of the facts.

It is well known that former superintendent José Manuel Villarejo is at daggers drawn with the former director of the Spanish Intelligence Services (CNI), Félix Sanz Roldán, whom he accuses of being responsible for his situation. That is why there are reasons to doubt all of Villarejo's accusations against Sanz Roldán, such as those he has made this Tuesday in the course of the Tándem case trial, where, without having any relation to the case on trial, he hinted that the CNI was somehow responsible somehow responsible for the terror attacks in Barcelona and Cambrils on August 17, 2017.
