Puigdemont frees former president of Catalonia, but must return to Sardinia on October 4

Puigdemont was arrested by border police on a European order in Sassari on Thursday. On October 30, 2017, the Catalan leader was deported to Belgium in Brussels to avoid arrest for alleged insurgency. Against him, Madrid authorities issued a European arrest warrant for his refusal to return to Spain.

A month later the Supreme Court reversed the move. In this way Puigdemont could travel to raise awareness of his cause in the international community, but he was unable to return to Spain due to a national arrest warrant.

Handover hearing set for October 4 – Accepting the Attorney General’s request, Sasari’s Court of Appeal acquitted Carlos Puigdemont. The former president of Catalonia can move freely and no precautionary measures have been imposed on him. However, Puigdemont is due to appear in court again on October 4, the date of the first hearing to decide the extradition request.
