Overview

  • A Barcelona court has removed Josep Tabernero, Jordi Segarra, and José Francisco Capellas as executors of Pere Mir's estate amid allegations of 'administración desleal' and 'apropiación indebida.'
  • The Generalitat's Justice Department has assumed temporary administration of the Cellex and Mir Puig foundations and their four associated companies as a precautionary measure.
  • Police searches of the executors' homes and company offices earlier this month uncovered evidence supporting claims of asset diversion and descapitalization.
  • Investigations stem from a 2023 complaint by former Derivados Forestales CEO Àngel Surroca, who alleged significant fund diversion and mismanagement of Mir's philanthropic legacy.
  • The executors deny wrongdoing, asserting their actions adhered to Pere Mir's final handwritten instructions, including specific property transfers.
