"What am I doing here?" "What am I defending myself against?" These are two questions that have been raised by two of the lawyers for the accused businessmen in the trial of the Pujol Ferrusola family which summarize the impotence expressed by the rest of the defense teams during the second session. They all converged in repeatedly denouncing violations of the right to a defense, the right to a fair trial, the right to effective judicial protection, and the adversarial principle. Basically, they believe that the facts that have brought them to trial are vague and indeterminate, and that their description can only lead to exoneration.

"The court has decided that the trial will begin with him present." Despite unfavorable forensic reports advising against it, the National Court has refused to exonerate Jordi Pujol i Soley and has decided to proceed with his trial. His seven children, the eldest son's ex-wife, and ten businesspeople are also in the dock in a trial that comes four years after the investigation concluded and which must determine whether the Pujol family's fortune in Andorra originated with their grandfather, Florenci, or was augmented with money from illegal commissions. The prosecution accuses the former president of the Generalitat of the crimes of illicit association and money laundering and is seeking a nine-year prison sentence.

This Monday it begins at the National Court the trial of the decade. Over the course of six months, the court will have to discern whether the money that the Pujol Ferrusola family had in Andorra came from the inheritance of grandfather Florenci, as the former Catalan president claims since his confession in July 2014, or came from "illicit million-dollar payments" from businessmen in exchange for "political favors".
