The govern used bitcoins to hide the expenses of the referendum

The controversy over the Catalan process continues. Apparently, the Govern used Bitcoin to pay Amazon and Google and to finance part of the domains related to the independence process. The Civil Guard is investigating these events. It seems that Amazon was credited with the infrastructure used to count the votes of October 1. While Google was paid for the Proyect Privacy Shield. A tool that protects from cyber attacks.

In order to use this tool, the organizers of 1-0 asked the Google parent in the United States for permission. Permission that was granted. Both Amazon and Google have been subpoenaed by the judge to testify. These data have been obtained as part of the investigation carried out by the Civil Guard against the Catalan process.

The Govern used bitcoins

The use of bitcoins by workers was not destined for all operations. Since some services are paid using a credit card. Although, other payments were made with the cryptocurrency. The main problem is that the operations that have been carried out using bitcoin cannot be traced. So it is also not known how much this amount amounts to.

At the moment, Google has already been summoned to testify. Because to obtain the Project Privacy Shield you have to request permission and explain the reason for which you want to use it. There are doubts about whether Google really knew or not the use that the Govern had planned.

The stories about the independence process do not stop coming. What is clear is that there are still many things to be revealed. We will see how this story evolves. And we hope that Google will make a statement soon.
