The Frankfurter Allgemeine explains why the accusation of embezzlement against Puigdemont is unfounded

The article, entitled 'conspirator and creative', recommends the German justice to read the book 'Operation Urns', journalists Xavi Tedo and Laia Vicens


The Frankfurter Allgemeine, one of the most influential newspapers in the field of politics in Germany, today published an article in which defends the thesis that the Spanish justice, will be very difficult to prove the alleged crime of embezzlement that wants to impute to Carlos Puigdemont This is the only letter that the Supreme Court judge Pablo Llarena has to ask for the delivery of the Catalan president, since the German justice has already ruled out the crime of rebellion.


The article, entitled 'conspirator and creative', recommends the German justice - which must decide whether to deliver Puigdemont in Spain for embezzlement - to read the book Operation Urns, journalists Xavi Tedo and Laia Vicens. It is explained that it was not the government who made the purchase of the polls, but a Catalan, under the pseudonym of Luis, who paid 100,000 euros to acquire them. Later, a network of thousands of volunteers managed to take the ballot boxes to Catalonia, hide them and distribute them on October 1st. "According to the Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung investigation, at least seven million voting tickets also came from France," he adds.


On the other hand, the article reaffirms that there was no misappropriation based on the statements of Santi Vila, who told the Supreme Court that the referendum had been financed with private money, and those of the Spanish Finance Minister, Cristóbal Montoro, who in a recent interview in the newspaper El Mundo said that the polls had not been paid with public funds.
