"On the administrative front, Spain’s court of auditors is set next week to demand that about 40 former Catalan officials repay millions of euros in regional government funds it says were wrongly used to promote independence — and to seize assets if they do not comply.

Among those facing such a prospect is Andreu Mas-Colell, a former Harvard economics professor who on Tuesday received the support of 33 Nobel laureates.

The dispute has made waves abroad: on Monday the parliamentary assembly of the Council of Europe bracketed Spain with Turkey, calling for an end to prosecutions and signalling its concern with the court of auditors’ actions."

Where things stand (Mas-Colell): Tomorrow this tribunal issues penalties. The campaign has succeeded to bring awareness to the issue. Now every move by the tribunal is being taken with awareness they are under scrutiny.

The news is not good (Mas-Colell). The final figure is still in flux but he will have to pay somewhere in the range of $700k to $3 million. I believe it will likely be toward the upper part of that range.
