Carlos Tusquets, the former president of Fibanc and current head of Banco Mediolanum in Spain, testified this week in the Pujol case to address allegations concerning his supposed joint investments with Jordi Pujol Ferrusola. Tusquets directly refuted claims from a police report that he and Pujol Ferrusola jointly held an investment account in the Selecta Fund, declaring that no such shared account existed. His statements highlight a significant misunderstanding on the part of the police regarding how investment funds operate, which he claimed contributed to the confusion in the report.

Tusquets' testimony is part of a larger investigation into the financial dealings of Jordi Pujol Ferrusola, who has been a controversial figure in Catalonia due to the allegations of financial misconduct involving his family. As a well-known businessman in the region, Tusquets' role in this case is critical not only for his professional insights but also for the broader implications for other financial institutions and their relationships with high-profile clients. His denial of any illicit or inappropriate financial arrangements sheds light on the complexities of investment collaborations and public perceptions of accountability.

This case raises significant questions about the capabilities and methodologies of law enforcement in financial investigations. The criticism from Tusquets indicates a need for a better understanding among investigators of financial products and structures, as misunderstandings can lead to false accusations and mistrust among professionals in the finance sector. As this high-profile case continues to unfold, its outcomes could have far-reaching effects on regulatory practices within Spain's financial industry and beyond.
