Fiscalía de Barcelona

The Fiscalía de Barcelona (Barcelona Prosecutor's Office) is the public prosecutor's office in Barcelona, Spain. Recent news focuses on the death of Blanca Serra, an activist who filed the first complaint of torture during the Franco regime that reached the courts. Serra's case, handled by the Fiscalía, was instrumental in establishing a legal basis for recognizing victims of the dictatorship in the courts. Her passing at the age of 82 has brought renewed attention to the Fiscalía's role in addressing historical injustices and its contribution to the fight for memory and against state repression. The Fiscalía's past actions in Serra's case continue to hold significance in the ongoing efforts to acknowledge and provide justice for victims of the Franco regime.
