In the broader view of the Marist Case, numbers illuminate a troubling reality that stretches across decades and institutions. A journalistic investigation by El Periódico de Catalunya, part of the Prensa Ibérica group, brought to light more than 51 police complaints against 18 educators connected to schools in Sants-Les Corts, including La Inmaculada and Anna Ravell in Barcelona, as well as centers in Champagne, Badalona, Mataró, and Lleida, with events spanning from 1962 to 2018. The report also identified additional victims who did not file formal complaints, expanding the scope beyond the named centers and highlighting a broader reach of harm. In total, well over a hundred people were affected. Yet the cases, and the cases already reported, did not lead to swift justice because the statute of limitations constrained accountability for crimes that had occurred years earlier, a dynamic the Marist Case itself helped spark to reformulate. attribution: El Periódico de Catalunya and Prensa Ibérica.
