Xavier García Albiol received powers to manage Luverne International in in 2005, a company based in Belize – a known tax haven – and kept them until 2015, as reported by La Sexta and El País two of the media outlets that carried out the investigation into the Pandora papers. The company was registered on January 1, 2005, when Albiol was already part of the Catalan PP's executive, through the office Alemán, Cordero, Galindo and Lee (Alcogal), one of the fourteen law firms that are at the centre of the journalistic investigation that has revealed 11.9 million documents by companies specialised in creating companies in tax havens. He mediated in the Afsi operation, a consultancy created in Andorra by Andbank. Albiol received the powers of attorney from the directors of Luverne International in early April 2005, before a notary in Panama, and the company was dissolved on November 9, 2015. During these ten years Albiol was mayor of Badalona (2011-2015) and candidate to preside the Generalitat.
