Key Points
- Edict published in BOPA targets Laporta Estruch (1 notice) and Viñales (4 notices).

Andorra's Finance Ministry is attempting to locate FC Barcelona president Joan Laporta and motorbike racer Maverick Viñales to serve them with tax information exchange notices.
The State Secretariat for International Financial Affairs, under Lorena Jordana, aims to deliver one notice to Laporta—identified fully as Joan Laporta Estruch—and four to Viñales, who lived in the Principality for at least one season. An edict published Wednesday in the Butlletí Oficial del Principat d'Andorra (BOPA) initiates the standard search procedure for those not readily found in Andorran territory.
Laporta and Viñales have 10 days from publication to contact the secretariat and start the process. Failure to do so means the notices take legal effect the following day. Non-residents or Andorran nationals without a local address must designate a fiscal representative in Andorra to manage all steps, including the initial notification.
Within 10 working days after service, parties may submit a written opposition using the form on the Tràmits service.
The ministry has released no further information on the notices' contents. Both figures join other prominent individuals recently subject to such fiscal procedures.
