Overview
- The three investigated officers filed an opposition arguing any prolongation would turn the case into an impermissible 'causa general'.
- Hazte Oír, which launched the complaint, requested a six-month extension on Dec. 20, citing unfinished work and a pending appeal over rejected diligences.
- The Audiencia Provincial ordered the seizure and forensic review of seven phones to check for contacts with Carles Puigdemont between July 8 and Aug. 9, 2024.
- The investigating magistrate previously refused broad measures as disproportionate and prospective, invoking minimal criminal intervention and administrative channels for scrutiny of officials.
- The prosecution has not stated a position publicly, and the defense argues phone-analysis results could be added to the case even if the instruction closes on schedule.
