VOICED : Justicia europea devuelve inmunidad a expresidente catalán Carles Puigdemont

The European Court of Justice restored the immunity of Catalan leaders Carles Puigdemont, Toni Comín, and Clara Ponsatí, who faced charges of sedition and malversación. Initially, the European Parliament had lifted their immunity at Spain's request for extradition. The EU Court initially rejected their appeal, but later ruled that the European Parliament's legal committee showed bias. Since the failed 2017 independence attempt, the leaders have been in exile, with Puigdemont and Comín in Brussels and Ponsatí in Scotland.
