During Spain's trial of Catalan independence leaders, the Spanish Inquisitor accused activist Jordi Sànchez (@jordialapreso) of having received an email. The Prosecution is seeking 17 years of prison for the crime of violent rebellion. And this is evidence of the "crime"? Surreal.
A mysterious "Sabi Strübel" came to the fore of the news on Thursday afternoon during Jordi Sànchez's statements in the Supreme Court.
The prosecutor asked Sànchez if he knew anyone called Xabi Strubell. Sànchez answered that he did not. Javier Zaragoza then asked for an email message to be displayed on the screen. The email message, written to Sànchez, suggested parking private vehicles in front of the polling stations.
The pro-independence leader denied ever having seen the message. In a tug of war against the prosecutor, Sànchez made the following reference to justice Manuel Marchena:
"I do not want to be rude. There have been WhatsApp messages that have compromised the dignity and good name of the presiding magistrate of this Court."
Sànchez was referring to the message sent by the spokesperson of the PP in the Senate, Ignacio Cosidó, to all the senators in the group, stating that he would control the courtroom judging the pro-independence leaders "from behind" due to having managed to place Marchena as the president of the General Council of the Judiciary and of the Supreme Court. Marchena resigned from this position on the following day.
The former president of the ANC also told the prosecutor that "it would have been interested to call Xabi Strubell as a witness".
