A new twist in the Catalonia operation
Week after week, details continue to emerge about Operation Catalunya, an alleged police plot promoted by the Spanish government with the aim of stopping independence. This conspiracy would have involved the use of false evidence, manipulation of data, irregular reporting and infiltration of various institutions.
Infiltration of the FBI
Recently, it has been revealed that the patriotic police got involved with the FBI to get a Catalan, accused of drug trafficking, to become a protected source of the American agency. This maneuver would have been orchestrated by the former commissioner of the Spanish police, José Manuel Villarejo, with the aim of discrediting the independence movement.
Villarejo and the FBI agent
Details of the relationship between former commissioner Villarejo and FBI agent Marc Varry have come to light through a series of emails. These reveal how Villarejo influenced a Catalan financier, suspected of drug trafficking, to become a confidant of the FBI, with the intention of disseminating information damaging to the US authorities.
Intoxication and infiltration
These emails also expose the efforts of the patriotic police to convince the FBI that the Catalan independence movement was related to radicalized groups, with the aim of undermining its credibility and international reputation.
Consequences of the maneuvers
The consequences of this manipulation go beyond the simple dissemination of misinformation. It has been pointed out that these actions could have influenced investigations against relevant figures in the political and business landscape, as in the case of businessman Sandro Rosell.
Reactions and possible legal implications
These revelations have provoked a strong response from those affected, who have announced legal actions to defend their reputation and integrity. The indignation and consequences of these illegal practices continue to mark the political debate in Catalonia.
