The Tarragona Court does not locate Carles Pellicer to testify

The Tarragona Court has encountered a surprising gap: they have not located Carles Pellicer to make him testify. The judge admits that they only have an email address and that the hope of him showing up is almost nil.

The appointment was this Thursday at noon, but the former mayor of Reus has given no sign of life. This lack of location highlights a disorder that many may have already suspected: even institutions do not take seriously sending key notifications.

The failed attempt to locate the former mayor

The summons and the difficulties

Carles Pellicer was summoned to the Tarragona Court to testify as a witness in the Innova case, a trial that holds the attention of Catalan society.

But before the scheduled time, the magistrate announced that Pellicer had not been located. The only data provided for communication is an email, which at this point seems insufficient to guarantee his presence.

The judge’s response

The magistrate has explained that they do not know if Pellicer received or read the email informing him of the summons.

He added that the expectation that the former mayor will appear is very low. The situation raises questions beyond the case, about the effectiveness of official channels.

The context of the Innova case and Pellicer’s role

What is the Innova case?

The Innova case is a judicial process investigating alleged fraud and mismanagement linked to projects in Reus and its surroundings.

The testimony of key witnesses, such as former mayor Carles Pellicer, is essential to advance the investigation.

Pellicer and his relevance

As former mayor, Pellicer has a key role in clarifying the facts under suspicion.

His absence from the testimony creates a gap that may affect the pace of the trial and the public perception of the process.

The implications and the immediate future

What happens now with the testimony?

The Tarragona Court will have to decide how to proceed given the impossibility of making Pellicer appear as a witness.

The next steps could include new summons or other legal measures to ensure his presence.

Reactions and expectations

The lack of location has amazed citizens and involved parties, who expected a more dynamic trial.

The situation puts on the table the difficulty some politicians have in facing judicial processes, and the need for more effective notification mechanisms.

In the end, justice in Tarragona is left with a question that seems closer to fiction than reality: how can a former mayor disappear when he has to testify?
