Spain's top court lifts Puigdemont arrest warrant
Original: Spain Supreme Court judge lifts Puigdemont arrest warrant after Constitutional Court ruling
A Spanish Supreme Court judge has lifted the arrest warrant against former Catalan leader Carles Puigdemont, following a ruling by Spain's Constitutional Court. Puigdemont, who led Catalonia's failed 2017 independence bid and has lived abroad to avoid prosecution, now faces a changed legal landscape in Spain, reigniting debate over the handling of the separatist case.
Why now: The Constitutional Court ruling immediately changed the legal status of a high-profile exile figure at the centre of Spain's Catalonia independence dispute.
