Catalonia's former rebel president can return to Spain, court rules

Spain's court has ruled that Catalonia's former rebel president, Carles Puigdemont, is permitted to return to the country. The legal decision upholds the lifting of an active arrest warrant that had previously been issued against him.

The arrest warrant was originally tied to the political independence bid that Puigdemont led in Catalonia in 2017, a movement that sparked a major constitutional crisis in Spain.
