Pujol, exonerated 4,149 days later
Jordi Pujol i Soley will be judged by history or time, but not by the courts. As of 10:55 AM yesterday, he is a man legally free for all purposes, as the case against him, which is being heard in the Audiencia Nacional against his entire family and nine businessmen for alleged corruption, has been archived or dismissed due to health reasons. The court summoned him yesterday for a medical and personal examination before deciding whether to keep him in the case and subject him to interrogation or, given his deteriorated state of health, to exonerate him. The president of the court, José Ricardo de Prada, issued a medical and judicial diagnosis, all in one: Pujol cannot be judged.
