• The trial against Jordi Pujol Soley and his seven children begins in the National Court for alleged crimes of criminal organization, against public treasury, money laundering and documentary falsification.
• The process has been long, lasting 13 years from its start in 2012. There have been political interventions during this time, including the well-known Catalunya operation and patriotic police.
• It's been discussed whether Pujol Soley, given his advanced health condition and old age, should be excluded from the trial.
• It is discarded that the Pujol family's wealth comes from an inheritance in Switzerland.
• The leadership of the supposed criminal organization is attributed to Pujol, and the execution of the illegal operation to his oldest son, Jordi Pujol Ferrusola.

Conclusion: The trial represents a significant effort in the fight against corruption in Spain, although its duration and the circumstances surrounding the case may lead to questions about justice's effectiveness.
