The paper claims that 210 Catalans (over two thirds of the total) were charged in the 3rd quarter of 2015, 45 in the 4th, 33 in the 1st quarter of 2016, 1 in the 2nd, and 14 in the 3rd quarter.

Comment: The data does not seem to be comparable to that of the 1st quarter of 2017 issued and uploaded on the CGPJ website www.cgpj.es.
Some go up enormously, led by the ten-fold apparent increase in Catalonia (30 --> 303), far overtaking the five regions that headed the list on March. Valencia actually goes down (62 --> 51) as does Castella-Lleó (34 --> 9).
Madrid also soars up, increasing seven-fold, from 20 to 145.
It seems clear that the two sets of data, given by the same source, are not comparable. Given the media's insistence - despite all the previous evidence - that corruption in Catalonia is far worse than anywhere else, I regard the latest data, apparently issued on July 31 2017, as highly suspect. In particular, what were the 210 Catalans in the 3rd quarter of 2015 charged with?

Well, Roger Rué managed to clear this up. He too found it very odd that so many non-EU citizens were in the statistics (75: 45 men and 30 women). The string of his tweets starts with this one:
He concludes thus:

Of the 210 cases that quarter, the 75 couples and two civil servants in the arranged weddings accounted for 152. Hardly "political corruption" in any sense of the term. How many of the other 58 cases, that same quarter, were really political in nature?

I can't get more data or press articles on this. However, in the same period the issue was covered here, for Madrid: https://www.elconfidencial.com/espana/2015-09-15/el-coladero-de-la-tarjeta-de-la-ue-6-000-euros-por-casarse-con-una-gitana-espanola_1016484/


This manipulation of the data on Catalonia fuelled philosopher Fernando Savater to claim, in a right-wing Nationalist newspaper, that ‘Cataluña es la región más corrupta de España’, exactly 81 years after Franco's disastrous military coup. (

Another source, noted for its hostility towards all things Catalan, claimed in 2013, on the basis of an EU report, that "Cataluña es la región más corrupta de España" and that "Bruselas advierte de que las administraciones catalanas salen muy mal paradas en cuanto a calidad y transparencia". It blames the low score on a number of cases, the most important of which only hit the fan after 1 February 2010, when the last data were gathered for the report!

Report: Regional Governance Matters: A Study on Regional Variation in Quality of Government within the EU, by Nicholas Charron, Victor Lapuente and Lewis Dijkstra.

Finally, Prof. Sala Martín reminds readers that this study is not on levels of governance, including corruption, but rather on perceptions of these levels.
