Arrest warrant issued for ousted Catalan leader: lawyer

BRUSSELS: A Spanish judge has issued an arrest warrant for ousted Catalan leader Carles Puigdemont, his lawyer told Belgian state broadcaster VRT on Thursday.

“Mr. Puigdemont will stay here. He has said that he will fully cooperate with B elgian authorities during the procedure,” Bekaert said.
