Former President of the Generalitat Jordi Pujol has been admitted to the Sagrada Família Clinic in Barcelona for pneumonia .

In this situation, the National High Court will have to assess his state of health in order to determine whether or not he can attend the trial.

It was precisely Pujol's own legal team that asked the National High Court to assess his ability to be tried.

Illegitimate wealth

On 24 November, the National High Court ordered the trial of Jordi Pujol and his seven children for their accumulated and hidden fortune for decades.

The Public Prosecutor's Office requests 9 years' imprisonment for the former President of Catalonia, while the State Lawyer's Office requests 25 years' imprisonment and a bond of 7.7 million euros.
