Josep Cornadó

Josep Cornadó is the former president of Copisa, a large construction company. He is currently newsworthy due to his involvement in the ongoing Pujol case, which centers around allegations of corruption, money laundering, and tax evasion involving the family of former Catalan President Jordi Pujol. Recent developments in the case involve economic experts presenting evidence that potentially weakens the prosecution's claim that companies affiliated with the Pujol family, including Copisa under Cornadó's leadership, received preferential treatment from the Generalitat (Catalan government) in exchange for commissions. Cornadó's defense, led by lawyer Jorge Ayo, has presented evidence in court. The case's outcome could significantly impact perceptions of corruption within Catalan politics and the accountability of prominent business figures.
