Ex-Catalan leader Puigdemont arrested in Germany

By Jordi Bou

March 26, 2018 - Spain’s Supreme Court has reactivated international arrest warrants for seven Catalan politicians currently living in self-imposed exile.

Spain's Supreme Court has ruled that 25 Catalan leaders should be tried for rebellion, embezzlement or disobeying the state.

Puigdemont and other separatists have all denied wrongdoing, saying their declaration of independence was simply fulfilling a democratic mandate.
