" The legal pressure on the Catalan government over its intention to
hold an independence referendum on October 1 continued on Wednesday,
when two officials were questioned by Spanish Guardia Civil officers at
the Travessera de Gràcia police station in Barcelona. Joaquim Nin,
Secretary General of the Minister of the Presidency, and Jordi Graells,
Managing Director of the Citizen Information Office, were asked to give
witness statements for a lawsuit in Barcelona, confirmed police sources,
although they did not specify which court case. However, it was
confirmed that the statements are part of the investigation into alleged
illegal activity on behalf of the Catalan government, known as the
‘Vidal case’. "
