The juvenile judge on duty in Barcelona ordered yesterday the detention in a closed regime of the two teenagers aged 15 and 16 arrested in the early hours of Tuesday for the stabbing death of Carles Vilajosana, 45 years old, in Manresa. The crime has shocked the Bages region, where the victim was actively involved in cultural and social life. Hours before dying, he had been with his two twin sons at the correfoc that marked the end of a major festival that had taken place without incidents.
One month has passed since the lawyer acting on behalf of Carlos Mazón in the dana case, Ignacio Gally, gained access to the complete instruction on July 31 thanks to the Valencia Court allowing the former president of the Generalitat Valenciana to appear in the process. And on the first day of September, he sent a letter to the Catarroja court in which, first of all, he asks the judge to specify whether there is any open line of investigation or pending opening regarding a possible criminal liability for action by his client, once the TSJ ruled out the possibility of any criminal liability of Mazón for omission.
The Mossos d’Esquadra arrested two minors early Tuesday morning for their alleged involvement in the death of a well-known resident of Castellnou de Bages, aged 45. The victim, a gardener by profession and father of two young twins, received a stab wound to the chest. The first police officers who arrived at the scene tried to revive the injured man with cardiopulmonary resuscitation maneuvers until the arrival of the SEM health services, but they could do nothing to save his life. The knife pierced his heart.
Even the longest legal processes come to an end. The Contentious-Administrative Chamber of the High Court of Justice of Catalonia (TSJC) ratified this past July that the mining company Iberpotash (currently ICL Iberia) must dismantle the saline waste dump of Cogulló, in Sallent, a huge landfill against which residents and organizations have been protesting for 20 years.
Mallorca has built an average of three swimming pools a day over the last decade, a pace that contrasts with the increasing difficulties some municipalities on the Island face in ensuring water supply during the summer months. Between 2015 and 2024, 10,680 pools were built, according to a study presented by the environmental organization Terraferida, which amounts to 1,166 per year.
The judicial investigation into the alleged homicide of Isak Andic has not stopped for summer vacations. Media coverage of the case has plummeted, but some have continued working. The Mossos d’Esquadra are scientifically reconstructing the route in Montserrat that on December 1st was taken together by the Andic family therapist, Maria Julia Lüderwaldt, and a former collaborator of her practice, Johana, a British English teacher whose name is the only detail known. Investigators have reasonable suspicions that the two women walked that morning along the Camí de les Feixades, the same path that thirteen days later Isak and his son Jonathan Andic walked, where the father died after falling down a ravine nearly one hundred meters deep.
Never seen before. A nine-story pillar, a challenge to the laws of physics that seemed impossible just a few years ago, completed this Sunday in the plaza de la Vila de Vilafranca (Alt Penedès) on the diada de Sant Fèlix by a colla castellera accustomed to breaking the barriers of the món casteller. The Castellers de Vilafranca will go down in history as the first colla to complete the nine with folre, manilles, and puntals. A stratospheric construction, with a triple reinforcement structure at the base, that must mobilize more than 200 castellers to become a reality. Madness.
A traffic accident in Ribera d’Urgellet (Alt Urgell) has left five people injured this Sunday, three of them in critical condition, according to emergency services. The incident occurred around 17:49 on a rural road near the C-14 highway, in the Bor de Poblador area.
