The November 2012 dialog between the president of the Catalan PP, Alicia Sánchez-Camacho and the police commissioner José Manuel Villarejo, one of many founding moments of Operation Catalonia, is broadly identified. However its full evaluation, together with the undisclosed contents, analyzed by La Vanguardia and Cronicalibe.com, gives a brand new mild to raised perceive the unlawful operation organized by excessive officers of the PP and the Ministry of the Inside , to cease the Catalan political disaster.
First, the chosen targets: politicians, businessmen and the media. On this final part, La Vanguardia occupied a particular and distinguished place, to which they each referred harshly and contemptuously and to which they proposed that strain ought to be placed on it so as to situation and affect it. Additionally in regards to the clan struggles within the PP and the try by a sector of the police, embodied in Villarejo, to realize preeminence over the knowledge providers, the Nationwide Intelligence Middle (CNI).
On this first assembly, it was made clear that the hyperlink between the 2 was the then Basic Secretary of the PP and later Minister of Defence, María Dolores de Cospedal, accused in one of many circumstances linked to Villarejo.
Each made specific their obedience to Cospedal. "The truth that I am right here is as a result of María Dolores trusts you to loss of life," started the commissioner. Sánchez-Camacho replied with equal or extra forcefulness: "Me too." María Dolores is like my sister." They thus confirmed what they stated on different recordings and what was written within the police diary, that it was Cospedal who put them in contact.
Villarejo rounded off his credentials by speaking about his relationship, "for 30 years" with Ignacio López del Hierro, a businessman and disturbing dealer who additionally performs a distinguished position within the police community. And he assured himself that "he has been working for the social gathering all his life".
Lastly, he nailed it by saying that he was "near Juan Cotino", Director Basic of the Police within the Authorities of José María Aznar and that, based on this newspaper, he was the one who really helpful the Minister of the Inside, Jorge Fernández Díaz, to show to the providers of Villarejo.
The 2 conspirators analyzed who could be a part of their circle of belief. And naturally, Sánchez-Camacho dominated out from the start relying on the minister, Fernández Díaz, for the related data, even if it was in his ministry that lots of the most related occasions of Operation Catalonia occurred. "Does Jorge know this?", he requested Villarejo, so as to add, "I do not know if I belief Jorge (...) I feel he has some collusion with the Pujol household". He additionally explains that he lately met the minister on a practice in Madrid, and that he didn't know how one can reply what he had gone to do in Barcelona, however later he discovered that he had paid a fast go to "to the inspiration of Pujol father ". "It is very unusual and it makes me..." whispers Sánchez-Camacho. All through the dialog, the top of the Catalan PP insists a number of occasions on the truth that the minister shouldn't be as holy as they make him out to be and that he passes data to the convergents. Villarejo undertakes to not inform him of his contacts, one thing he clearly is not going to do, in view of the commissioner's recordings and his diary entries.
Villarejo added to the checklist of fifth columnists to his black beasts, the alleged rival of his buddy Cospedal, the vice-president of the Authorities of Mariano Rajoy, Soraya Sáenz de Santamaría and above all of the Nationwide Intelligence Middle (CNI), dependent of her and the place the police had the best curiosity in penetrating, which he didn't obtain because of the novel opposition of his supervisor, Basic Félix Sanz Roldán. That obsession would find yourself being one of many keys to Villarejo's downfall.
The police reasoned that "We've got folks inside [the independence movement]. Proper now, even when it seems like a lie, we're not listening. I say that that is stupidity on the a part of your little buddy, [Sáenz de Santamaría] who's accountable for the CNI, or she thinks that this can be a rule of the sport of ten steps and right here is somebody who at 5 steps turns and stabs you behind the top".
Again to November 6, 2012, when there are three days left earlier than the 25-N electoral marketing campaign in Catalonia begins. The target is made specific: "Till the twenty fifth we should be certain that these rascals don't get an absolute majority, however after that there's a entire battle and it's important for the social gathering to have folks such as you", says the commissioner. "Basic for Spain", she provides. Affect public opinion, alter the electoral outcome.
The commissioner names Sánchez-Camacho because the savior of Catalonia, a "key" piece to acquire important data for the operation they're launching.
Villarejo bluntly describes what the plan that he has been tasked with partly consists of and that he enhances it along with his chrematistic ethyl: get hold of "nuclear" data - ideally "private points, not even social gathering financing" - and filter it to the press It lists media and journalists who're ready for the order.
Every thing shall be performed with out the intervention of politicians in any case, "in order to not burn" the PP. Villarejo and his group care for it. "I've already advised María Dolores that she should not give any such nuclear data to journalists underneath any circumstances, by no means, ever." "The benefit - he says at one other level - is that nobody controls us, nobody is aware of we exist and nobody has any concept, nor ought to they know something".
And in the long run, the 2 collectively, make an inventory of characters whose lives should be made unattainable, search compromised data or, as will find yourself occurring, fabricate false dossiers or with half-truths to disqualify them in entrance of the general public public or open authorized circumstances in opposition to them and not using a actual foundation.
Villarejo emphasizes a number of occasions that his first goal is the Pujol household, because the president on the time of the Generalitat, Artur Mas, is an "adlater". "What pursuits us is to focus all the eye on the Pujols, particularly on the Oriol", he says.
The 2 agree that Josep Antoni Duran i Lleida, the previous chief of Unió Democràtica de Catalunya (UDC), a celebration then in coalition with Convergència Democràtica de Catalunya (CDC) and which dissolved three years later, is "an agent double". "We've got to uncover him, he's a key man", he says. "He should be defenestrated and despatched into exile," she provides.
Due to their proximity to the Pujols, Sánchez-Camacho lists the Sumarroca household, proprietor of the development firm Emte, and Sandro Rosell, the businessman and president of Barça. A while later, some member of the primary household and the president of Barça would find yourself arrested, within the case of the second for 2 years. Sánchez-Camacho additionally requested to research Jaume Giró, then director basic of Fundació La Caixa. "Now it has turn out to be utterly pro-independence", he says.
The commissioner even provided to place strain on the then director basic of La Caixa, Juan María Nin, benefiting from his variations with the president of the financial institution and the Basis that owns the previous, Isidre Fainé. She warned Villarejo in opposition to Narciso Ortega, former senior police chief of Catalonia, dismissed by Fernández Díaz, whom she claims is "near Felip Puig", then Minister of the Inside. In response to Camacho, Ortega can not return to Catalonia.
Villarejo shares with Sánchez-Camacho the knowledge that his group has. Supposed accounts in Andorra, for instance. He tells her that he has been going to the Principality loads. “We're there paying bankers. We're on the BPA", he says.
Villarejo left that assembly with two particular names written down in his agenda: that of multi-convict Javier de la Rosa and that of an ex-girlfriend of Jordi Pujol Ferrusola, Victoria Álvarez. The 2 characters will turn out to be the 2 seen sources of Operation Catalunya, those who will file complaints and function the primary journalistic revelations. De la Rosa advised me that "he has documentation from the Pujol household and so they wished to offer it to somebody secure and who wanted cash", factors out Sánchez-Camacho.
