Catalonia: The Texas of Spain
The 2014 and 2017 referendums on Catalan independence from Spain was really about protecting human traffickers from prosecution. Some interesting links to Andrew Tate and Jennifer Lopez are explored.
The Texit movement was also backed by homegrown neo-slavers and the Russian-Israeli mafia in Texas. So, I have sympathy for our Spanish allies.
Texas Govenor Greg Abbott and Attorney General Ken Paxton enabled the trafficking of foster children and it’s the same in Catalonia.
Catalonia and Organized Crime
Catalonia is an autonomous region in Spain that borders France and the Mediterranean. The media portrayed the 2014 referendum as a fight against Francoist Spain. (It wasn’t)
Catalonia's separatist leaders then went ahead with a full referendum on October 1, 2017, which was also declared illegal by Spain's constitutional court. What the media refused to mention was Catalonia’s ties to transnational organized crime: the Camorra, ‘ndrangheta, Albanians, Romanian Mob, and above all the Russian-Israeli mafia.
Ramping up ‘Operation Troika’
In 2008, Spanish prosecutor Jose Grinda arrested Gennady Petrov who was high up in the Tambovskaya-Malyshevkaya Bratva and invested his money in Spanish real estate.
Petrov later fled to Russia when his villa—on the island of Majorca—was raided by the police.
Carles Puigdemont, Catalonia, and Romanian Human Trafficking
The ousted “president” of Catalonia, Carles Puigdemont, has familial ties to Amer and Girona. As a teenager, Puigdemont founded the Nationalist Youth of Catalonia and speaks Catalan, French, Spanish, Romanian and English.
In 2000, he met his Romanian born wife, Marcela Topor, and later elected Mayor of Girona in 2011. (Yes, women can be human traffickers too. Victims are more likely to trust women.)
In 2017, the Catalonian government ignored a warning from the CIA of an imminent terrorist attack where 13 people were killed and more than 100 injured when a van ploughed into crowds of people on Las Ramblas in Barcelona. We all know who likes to do false flag terrorism and radicalization.
Note: The Catalonian police are tied in with the separatist movement and helped Puigdemont flee last August from Spanish justice.
Not a Man of the Catalonian People, but Organized Crime

“Normally the president of the Catalonian government is from the upper class of Barcelona. He’s not. He’s from a humble family outside of the city. He connects more to the people of the street than the political powers,” he said.
Those “streets” the president of Catalonia is connected to are most likely involved in the Romanian human trafficking underworld. Until 2010, Spain didn’t even have a law that distinguished trafficking from illegal immigration.
During Puigdemont’s Tenure as Mayor, a Girona Court Protects La Jonquera Human Trafficker
This 2012 NYT story talks about the Romanian human trafficking victims in La Jonquera which is only 37 miles from the Mayor of Girona and future Catalan President Carles Puigdemont.
Women Enslaved by Spain’s Brothel Tourism Boom |The New York Times | April 6, 2012
LA JONQUERA, Spain — She had expected a job in a hotel. But when Valentina arrived here two months ago from Romania, the man who helped her get here — a man she had considered her boyfriend — made it clear that the job was on the side of the road.
In La Jonquera, tucked behind an all-night gas station, is the newly opened Club Paradise, which, with 101 rooms, is one of the largest brothels in Europe. It caters in large part to young men from France, where many aspects of prostitution are illegal, and perhaps more to the point, buying sex is more expensive.
Of the 1,605 women identified in 2010 as victims of traffickers, the biggest number — about 30 percent — came from the Balkans.
Fueling the boom in the sex industry in Spain are many factors, experts say, including porous borders in many parts of the world and lax laws. Until 2010, Spain did not even have a law that distinguished trafficking from illegal immigration. And advocates say arrests of traffickers and services for trafficked women remain few. The State Department’s report on trafficking said that according to preliminary information, the Spanish government prosecuted 202 trafficking suspects and convicted 80 in 2010.
Girona Judge Throws Out Case
In 2014, when Puigdemont was still mayor, a Girona court threw out the case of modern-day slaver José Moreno who was the owner of the massive brothel called “Paradise” in La Jonquera who trafficked Romanian girls.

The owner of Paradise, a massive brothel near La Jonquera, a town in Catalonia by the French border, was acquitted on Wednesday of organizing a criminal group which engaged in the trafficking of women from Brazil to work as prostitutes.
The court in Girona threw out the charges against José Moreno, who was facing 14 years in prison, due to a lack of evidence. The court also acquitted six other alleged members of the trafficking ring, but found one defendant, Rodrigo Rodrigues, guilty of violating the civil rights of some of the women. He was sentenced to four years in prison.
On the night of December 23, 2012, Catalan police were called in to defuse a car bomb that was left outside his Paradise brothel. The Mossos d'Esquadra regional police believed that this was a threat as part of an attempt to rob the establishment of its clients.
Now that the Catalonian separatists were jailed and other fled, Spain is cracking down on human trafficking on the Costa Brava—a coastal region that stretches from the mouth of the River Tordera, which marks the border of the provinces of Girona and Barcelona, and the Franco-Spanish border.

The ‘lover boys’ earned more than EUR 400 000 exploiting vulnerable victims coming from Romania
The evidence collected during the investigation suggests that the criminal network had been active since 2014. The members of the criminal gang manipulated their victims into prostitution for the financial benefit of the criminal network.
In this particular case, the victims were captured in Ploiesti (Romania) using the lover boy trick and transferred by plane to Barcelona (Spain), where they were housed in flats for several days which had been arranged by the organisation. This gave the organisers enough time to buy suggestive clothes for the victims. They were then transferred to accommodations rented by the organisation in different locations, including the south of France (Marseille, Nice) and Spain (Costa Brava and Ibiza).
Reminds me Andrew and Tristian Tate who are currently on trial in Romania for human trafficking. The brothers are accused of using the ‘Lover Boy Method,’ tattooed “Tate Property” on 36 women, and they spent time on the Southern Spanish coast in 2020 and 2022. If anyone has more information on Andrew Tate’s time in Spain let me know.
I have two articles detailing Andrew Tate’s ties to organized crime, Silicon Valley, Israel, and Texas:

Artur Mas—Carles Puigdemont predecessor—was the 129th President of the Generalitat de Catalunya in 2010. In 2016, after an agreement between the Catalonian parties, he was replaced as President of the Generalitat by Puigdemont.
Between 2009 and 2017, Artur Mas’ Czech wife Helena Rakosnik, was a member of the board of trustees of the Rosa Oriol Foundation, linked to the Tous family of jewellers. In 2016, Alba Tous attended a dinner with Carles Puigdemont and other pro-independence leaders that led to a boycott of their family business.

I absolutely loved visiting Spain and Catalonia last June. The people and culture of Catalonia shouldn’t be lumped in with these mobsters.
I don’t know if you’ve ‘gotten it’ yet, but the whole point of all this division is to conquer free people (including anti-Zionist patriotic Jews) and turn us all into Palestinians. Time to free the slaves everywhere.
A picture I took while in Barcelona. It’s a vibe felt there by the people.
I am still learning about the nuance of Spanish politics, so if you have any tips just DM on X. I would also be interested in more info about Andrew Tate’s time in Spain.
You can follow me on X.com @DCinTejas—my DMs are always open—or email me at DCinTejas@proton.me for tips. If you email me, just DM me on Twitter/X, so I know to check it. Thanks!
