The president of the Tarragona Court, Joan Perarnau, explained that this year's agenda will be dominated by complex processes including the main branch of the Innova case, the Inipro case, and the l'Aldea cooperative trial. Additionally, cases involving money laundering with over 40 defendants and drug trafficking networks will be heard. This workload is further strained by 19 scheduled jury trials.
“"We are systematically applying undue delays."
Meanwhile, the president of the High Court of Justice of Catalonia (TSJC), Mercè Caso, welcomed the arrival of new magistrates to Catalonia, though she expressed concern over the lack of local vocations. According to Caso, it is essential to promote judicial careers among Catalan law students to prevent the constant turnover of judges who eventually request transfers back to their home regions.
A positive development for the city of Tarragona is the imminent start of construction on the new Judicial Forum. Official forecasts suggest work will begin in mid-March and last just over two years. This facility will unify all currently scattered court offices and improve service efficiency.
