Illa will appeal the dismissal of the case against Alvise for attributing a false PCR to him during the pandemic
Salvador Illa, president of the Generalitat, will appeal the dismissal of the case against Alvise Pérez for spreading a false PCR during the pandemic. Illa's defense is preparing the appeal, emphasizing the need to combat misinformation online. The judge found insufficient evidence for criminal charges, suggesting civil action instead. Alvise claimed he acted without malice, stating the false document was already circulating. The incident occurred during the 2021 Catalan elections, where Alvise aimed to expose Illa's alleged dishonesty. Illa refused to take a test, adhering to health protocols, leading to legal action by his party.
