Berlin, April 6 (RHC)--Former Catalan leader Carles Puigdemont has paid bail and may immediately leave the prison in the German town of Neumuenster, the state prosecutor in the northern state of Schleswig-Holstein said, reports Reuters.
Puigdemont has been held there since last month. The former leader of Catalonia was arrested on a Spanish-issued arrest warrant as he entered Germany. A court in Schleswig-Holstein on Thursday agreed to release Puigdemont on bail. The court also said extradition to Spain was possible on a charge of misuse of public funds, but not the charge of rebellion for his role in the campaign for Catalonia’s independence.
