Spanish National Court schedules testimony from Jordi Pujol in hidden fortune case

Tuesday, 21 April 2026, 16:16 · 1 min read

Spain's National Court (Audiencia Nacional) has summoned former Catalan regional president Jordi Pujol, 95, to testify next Monday in a trial concerning a fortune allegedly concealed in Andorra for years by Pujol and his children. Before he takes the stand, a forensic doctor will examine him at 9:30 a.m. to assess whether he is physically and cognitively fit to testify — a precaution prompted by an earlier court-commissioned medical report concluding he was not in condition to defend himself. Pujol faces up to nine years in prison on charges of illicit association and money laundering, though the case's central figure is his eldest son, Jordi Pujol Ferrusola, who risks a combined sentence of 29 years across five alleged offences and is expected to testify first should his father be deemed unfit to appear.
