Víctor Terradellas, Architect of Catalonia’s International Push, Dies at 62

Spanish courts closed the so‑called trama rusa case this year after prolonged scrutiny of his NGO networks.

Overview

  • Terradellas died in Tarragona on August 31 after suffering a stroke, according to reports from close associates.
  • The former CDC secretary of international relations helped drive the internationalization of the procés through Fundación CATmón and earlier founded the NGO IGMAN‑Acció Solidària.
  • He acknowledged serving as a conduit for contacts with Russian representatives in 2017 but denied any pact or promises, including claims of military support.
  • The Volhov investigation into alleged Kremlin ties was archived by the Audiencia de Barcelona and definitively closed by the Supreme Court in March 2025.
  • UDEF scrutinized CATmón and IGMAN over suspected diversion of public subsidies linked to the independence push, and he later stepped back from party politics after leaving Junts in 2022 while noting dialogues with figures in the United States, Israel and other countries.
