Supreme Court rejects reissuing European arrest warrant against Puigdemont

The Spanish Supreme Court rejected reissuing a European arrest warrant against Carles Puigdemont on Monday. The Spanish prosecutor requested the move immediately after discovering that Puigdemont had travelled from Belgium to Denmark earlier on Monday.

But the judge in the Supreme Court did not accept the appeal to reissue the European arrest warrant on the grounds that the Catalan president intends to ‘force’ being arrested.

According to the judge, if he was behind bars, he would better ‘argue’ the case of being sworn in as president at a distance or asking for a delegate vote.
