Two weeks ago, the Ciercos, through their lawyer Xavier Jordana, raised with the parliamentary groups the need for an amnesty law
Notary Josep Carles Rodriguez Miñana stated today, during an interview on the programToday will be RTVA's Good Day , presented by Gabriel Fernà ndez, that amnestying Banca Privada d'Andorra (BPA) would be a step backwards for the country. Miñana stressed that"In Andorra we have been fighting against certain labels for a long time"and remarked that this case"is not comparable to other cases of amnesty in other countries".
The notary believes that this fact "would not be well received by very powerful states" and that Andorra "is a state of law, it is the courts that apply the law, and that's it".
These statements come after the bank's former owners, the Cierco family, have again called for an amnesty law for all causes related to BPA. He also states that there is not just one BPA case, "there are twenty causes".
Two weeks ago, the Ciercos, through their lawyer Xavier Jordana, raised with the parliamentary groups the need for an amnesty law that would put an end to a judicial process that has been going on since 2015, when BPA intervened.
It is not the first time that this route has been proposed to solve the BPA case. Already in 2021, an attempt was made to promote a similar initiative, which ultimately did not succeed. On this occasion, the petition has also not been successful, as the majority parliamentary group has refused to promote or promote an amnesty law for cases linked to BPA.
