Spain's Supreme Court upheld arrest warrants for Catalonia's former leader Carles Puigdemont and other separatists, despite an amnesty law.

Spain's Supreme Court has upheld arrest warrants for Catalonia's former leader Carles Puigdemont and other separatist leaders despite an amnesty law. The court ruled that the amnesty law does not apply to those charged with embezzlement over Catalonia's failed secession bid in 2017. The decision could complicate Spain's fragile coalition government and have personal implications for Puigdemont, who is currently living in self-imposed exile in France.
