Barcelona (EFE) works will be paralyzed as a form of pressure.
Colau has declared that she is under investigation before the head of the Investigating Court number 18 of Barcelona for the crimes of coercion and prevarication as a result of the complaint filed against her by the investment fund Vauras, which maintains that the city council pressured her through sanctions and administrative obstacles to allocate housing for social rent.
In a brief statement, Colau, who has refused to answer Vauras’s questions, has argued that shortly after becoming mayor he delegated his duties regarding the granting of licenses to municipal services, for which reason he had no intervention in the disciplinary proceedings or in the records of works related to the investment fund.
The investigating judge refused to admit this complaint in November 2020, concluding that the facts described by the investment fund did not constitute a criminal offense.
