The Foreign Affairs case on the Court of Auditors analyses with a magnifying glass the action of the Generalitat abroad between 2011 and 2017 and questions trips, conferences and studies that in their opinion have to do with the Catalan independence bid and involve irregular spending. A full-fledged questioning of what the Catalan government can do that leads the court to claim more than five million euros to about thirty former officials. However, not every time the Court of Audit has analysed Catalonia's external action has it questioned it, given that there is a previous report from July 2016 in which, after analysing the activity of all the autonomous regions, including Catalonia, the body does not warn of any specific activity that it considers suspicious.
