Spanish Judge Orders Custody For Catalan Leaders Pending Trial

Description

On Thursday, a Spanish judge ordered nine Catalan secessionist leaders to be held pending a potential trial over the region’s independence push. The judge is also expected to issue a European arrest warrant for the ousted Catalan President Carles Puigdemont. A High Court source said the arrest warrant for Puigdemont, who is in Belgium, would “most likely” be issued on Friday. Puigdemont’s lawyer in Belgium said his client would stay away from Spain while the political climate was “not good."
