Spanish Supreme judge withdraws arrest warrant for ousted President Carles Puigdemont

belgium e — ON HOLD: Puigdemont's future in Spain

A SPANISH judge has withdrawn European arrest warrants for former Catalan President Carles Puigdemont and four other ex-ministers wanted on charges of rebellion, sedition and misuse of public funds.

Spanish Supreme Court judge Pablo Llareno announced the withdrawal on earlier today, but national warrants still stand so it is likely they would be arrested if they returned to Spain.

Puigdemont said after the supreme court decision he would stay in Belgium ‘for the moment’.

Llareno said the European warrant complicated the internal Spanish legal investigation and its removal allows Madrid full control.

Rebellion is considered one of the most serious crimes in Spain, carrying a jail term of up to 30 years.
