On Tuesday, a Spanish Supreme Court judge lifted an arrest warrant for exiled former Catalan separatist leader Carles Puigdemont. The decision was made by judge Pablo Llarena following action by Spain's Constitutional Court.
The ruling removes the threat of detention for Puigdemont, allowing him to return to Spain for the first time in nearly a decade. According to reports, this paves the way for his homecoming ahead of a general election scheduled for November.
