A family that supplied firearms and weapons of war to organized crime is busted

The Mossos d’Esquadra have dismantled a family organization based in Barcelona that was dedicated to supplying firearms and ammunition to organized crime. The arms traffickers were led by the family father, a 37-year-old Spaniard, who directed the purchase and sale of material from prison, where he had been incarcerated since 2009, convicted of homicide. The investigation by the Mossos d’Esquadra coincided during one of their surveillances with investigators from the Policía Nacional who were on the trail of the same arms traffickers. The heads of both investigations created a joint group from that moment on.

The last control session for the President of the Generalitat before the summer holidays was marked by the confrontation between Salvador Illa and Junts per Catalunya over the data on the execution of state investments in the autonomous communities, which in the Catalan case was 8.6% in 2025. The president of JxCat in the Parliament, Mònica Sales, reproached Illa that the “main problem” of Catalonia is him because he “stays silent, accepts and tolerates” these “devastating data”. The president acknowledged that there is a “problem” with state investment, that it “is not enough” and once again defended the investment consortium agreed with ERC to reverse it. In this vein, the socialist criticized Junts for not making any proposal “beyond complaining”.

To speak of De Muller is to speak of one of Tarragona’s most historic wineries, but also of a brand that has transcended the winemaking sphere thanks to one of its most emblematic wines: the communion wine which, for decades, has reached the Vatican and forms part of the celebration of the Eucharist. Founded over a century and a half ago, De Muller is present in two designations of origin, Priorat and Tarragona, where it has managed to preserve a legacy built on quality and respect for the territory. And they not only boast their great wines and their curious communion wine; they also produce artisanal vermouths with traditional recipes, long-aged soleras, and unique liqueurs that seek to reflect their historical essence.

What would good stories be without secondary characters? Without being the pillars of the narrative, they also support it and give it depth and texture; it is often they who lift the veil of appearances, at least a little. For that reason, they put so much effort into the castings that brought Vida privada (1932), Josep Maria de Sagarra’s great novel, to the screen.

Javier de Benito, plastic surgeon, 78 years old: “If someone believes that a rhinoplasty will get them a job or make their partner come back, they need to be explained that surgery won’t solve that”
