The Court of Corts keeps the case open in the Principality

The Court of Corts dismissed 33on 15 June the filing of the case in Andorra against Joan Besolí and Sandro Rosell that his defen- se had requested. Batlle Canòlic Mingorance, instructor of the ca- se, continues to investigate the crime of money laundering that is what he is accused of. Accor- ding to sources close to the case, the lawsuit was made despite ke- eping in mind that it would be dif- ficult for the court to access the files of the case. The defense of the defendants argued that in no case the money that Rosell had in Andorra came from any criminal or irregular activity. They recalled that the same CBF, who allegedly would have been the victim of the Exconseller of Finances of Sant Julià, Joan Besolí at a press conference. management of Rosell, had publi- 33 cly stated that he was not harmed by his actions.

MARICEL BLANCH EL PERIÒDIC ANDORRA LA VELLA @PeriodicAND

Sébastien Lecornu (Eaubonne, 1986) s the French Secretary of State for Ecological and Solidarity Transition that visited the Principality to sign a declaration of intent that should strengthen the cooperation betwe- en France and Andorra in matters of climate change.

-What are the key points of this pro- ject of collaboration with Andorra? - It is a first important institutional ex- change that will allow us to focus our work over the next years, and even in the coming months, on all those is- sues that have to do with ecology in general but, above all, with energy, in a unique international context in which we must do everything possi- ble to preserve the results of the Pa- ris Agreement and Coop 21. The pre- sident of the Republic, Emmanuel Macron, chose to orientate towards a positive but offensive climate diplo- macy and appeal against the States, the territorial authorities and the companies. This is exactly what we learned to do at the One Planet Sum- mit organized in Paris last December and it is under this same exchange of intentions that we have just signed a practical translation of this will bet- ween France and Andorra.
