Josep Lluís Trapo, dismissed as head of the Mossos d'Esquadra

Remodeling in the dome of the Mossos d'Esquadra. The head of the body, Josep Lluís Trapo, has been dismissed and will be relieved in the next few hours by one of the commissars of the body.

Josep Maria Estela, head of the police station of Tarragona Camp, has been responsible for replacing Trapero in charge of the Catalan regional police, according to 'Elnacional.cat' and confirmed by the Generalitat.

This very Monday, Trapero was summoned to the department, where he received the news.

Following this decision, it is expected that in the afternoon the Department of the Interior will publish the removal of Trapper, as well as the appointment of Estela as the new chief Commissioner.

The Department had been preparing for this relay for months, following the distancing between the Director-General of the Police and the major Traper who, according to sources in the middle, was going free.

After months of consultation, Joan Ignasi Elena has executed one of the decisions she had on the table from the first minute she entered the palace of the Sant Joan walk.

Trapero, who, despite being dismissed as head of the Mossos, maintained the rank of major, was at the head of the body between 2013 and 2017, until he was dismissed by the government in October after the DUI, and was restored by the Generalitat in November 2020, once acquitted by the Audiencia Nacional for his role in 1-O.

At the beginning of November last year, the Minister of the Interior of the Generalitat of Catalonia, Miquel Sàmper, said that the major of the MossosJosep Lluís Trapperotenhad "the option to return" to the head of the Catalan police after having been acquitted by the Audiencia Nacional for the performance of the body in 1-O.

Finally, Trapo was reinstated in front of the Mossos on November 12, three years after being dismissed by 155 and was once acquitted in the rebellion trial at the National High Court.

Trapper remodeled the body on his return.

At that time, the Mossos chief remodeled the command structure of the body, in which for the first time a woman, Commissioner Marta Fernández, would head the general police station for criminal investigation.

In addition, he also restored Commissioner Ferran López as his' number two', who replaced him during 155, and raised Joan Carles Molinero, who Yale accompanied at his previous stage as head of the police, as well as Miquel Esquius, to the top of the body.
