The German court cleared former Catalan president Carles Puddemon in Spain.
The extradition will occur in connection with charges of embezzlement, and not in connection with the heavier charges against him.
Spokesman for the Schleswig-Holstein Attorney General announced that a Puddemann publication order will soon be signed
The Puddemann was arrested in Germany at the end of March following the arrest warrant issued by Spain. In Madrid, he was accused of looting and wasting public money in the referendum on the independence of Catalonia last October. BACKGROUND:
The constitutional crisis in Catalonia began last autumn, when the referendum on the independence of the region took place on 1 October. Most of its members supported the independence of Catalonia, which culminated in the declaration of independence of Spain at the end of October. The Spanish Prime Minister then sacked the Catalan regional government. While rescuing from his detention, Puddhammon first went to Belgium, then stayed in other European countries. In return, his supporters in Catalonia were arrested. An extraordinary vote in Catalonia was won by a majority of supporters of independence.
