PoliticsSpain court lifts Puigdemont arrest warrant, clearing way for return

Spain’s Supreme Court has lifted the arrest warrant for Catalan separatist leader Carles Puigdemont, allowing him to return ahead of next month’s general election. The move followed a Constitutional Court ruling that the 2024 amnesty also covers embezzlement cases. Puigdemont has lived in exile since the failed 2017 independence bid.
