Catalan leader Carles Puigdemont
The leader of Catalan, Carles Puigdemont has been handed a rather soft fate after he handed himself over to the Belgian police.
A Belgian judge has granted conditional release to sacked Catalan
leader Carles Puigdemont and four of his ministers, and the group is
scheduled to appear at court within 15 days, Belgian prosecutors said on
Monday.
Puigdemont, who turned himself in to Belgian police after Spain
issued a European arrest warrant for rebellion and misuse of public
funds, is barred from leaving Belgium without a judge’s consent.
“The next step in the proceedings is the appearance of the five
defendants before the Chambre du Conseil within the next 15 days,” prosecutors said in a statement.
