Prisión para nueve integrantes del gobierno catalán cesado

A Madrid judge ordered the imprisonment of most of the dismissed Catalan government and issued an international arrest warrant for former President Carles Puigdemont due to his alleged role in Catalonia's unilateral declaration of independence. Puigdemont and four other officials fled to Belgium, missing their court appearance in Spain. Nine ex-Catalan government members who did appear were jailed on charges of rebellion, sedition, and embezzlement. Protests erupted in Barcelona against the severe legal charges.
