A case from 1997 in which a former Catalan leader allegedly diverted 30 million euros is drawing fresh attention in Spain. Despite the scale of the fraud, the sentence was only two years, and by 2012 the person was already free. Critics quote the line that 'criminal law does not always reach social outcry', asking whether the outcome reflects justice or privilege.

Why now: The glaring gap between the scale of the embezzlement and the light sentence is reigniting debate over judicial leniency for powerful figures in Catalonia.
