Police are also searching 20 properties of people suspected of bribing CDC members, as well as the CDC headquarters in Barcelona.

This would be hilarious if it were’nt for the fact that the ordinary Catalan/Spanish worker has to cough up via taxation to pay for all this corruption. The corrupt arresting the corrupt – not to believe.
