Tax inspectors from Spain's National Office of Investigation against Fraud have told the Audiencia Nacional (Spain's high court for serious criminal cases) that the companies operated by Josep Pujol Ferrusola — eldest son of former Catalan regional president Jordi Pujol — lacked the structure or documentation to justify the fees they received. The inspectors testified that the three main firms involved, Imisa, Project Marketing, and Active Translation, had virtually no staff beyond a part-time secretary and issued invoices to construction companies with little or no supporting contracts or records. The case centres on charges of money laundering and tax fraud against Pujol Ferrusola and his former wife, with one inspector describing a payment of nearly half a million euros as wasteful and questioning the source of funds linked to an operation in Argentina as coming from "fraudulent activity."
