The National Police forensic department has determined that Santi Laiglesia, the main suspect in the Helena Jubany murder case, did not write the anonymous letters sent to the victim.

While the handwriting analysis was negative for Laiglesia, he remains the primary suspect due to DNA evidence found on Jubany's clothing. Meanwhile, investigators previously linked the other accused individual, Xavi Jiménez, to the authorship of the letters.

"The prosecution will not submit further evidence requests and we expect to file the indictment in the coming days."

Additionally, the Barcelona Court has denied a request from Ana Echaguibel for a definitive dismissal of her case, maintaining it as provisional due to existing but insufficient evidence of involvement.
