Josep Juanpere death investigation: Partner under probe for homicide
A judicial investigation is underway regarding the death of prominent architect Josep Juanpere, who died in December at his residence in Baqueira Beret. While the death was initially attributed to heart failure, a post-mortem examination has revealed internal cervical injuries compatible with the application of external force.
Belén López, the architect’s partner, has been placed under formal investigation for homicide. Authorities are examining whether she applied pressure to his neck or if there was an omission of assistance. Following her arrest in Madrid by the Mossos d'Esquadra, a judge in Vielha granted her conditional release after she posted an €80,000 bail. She is currently prohibited from leaving Spain and must surrender her passport.
The case has drawn significant attention due to Juanpere’s high profile in Catalan business and social circles. The investigation remains under judicial secrecy as police work to determine the exact cause of the cervical trauma and its link to the cardiac arrest.
