University of Barcelona to Issue Initial Ruling in Ramón Flecha Case After Expert Panel Urges Faster Action

The rector cites repeated testimonies and documents as sufficient to reach a preliminary decision.

Overview

  • The expert commission investigating alleged abuses linked to the CREA group will deliver a preliminary file so the rector can decide in the coming days.
  • Investigators say recurring accounts and supporting documents justify advancing an initial resolution before the full probe concludes.
  • Reports now cite up to 16 complainants, an increase from the original 11 who approached the university in late July.
  • The rector says he has stayed away from witness statements to preserve impartiality and will act only on the commission’s documented findings.
  • Flecha was previously suspended as emeritus professor, the inquiry remains confidential, and the commission’s specialists in gender violence and institutional harassment have not been publicly identified.
