VOICED : Imputan a presidente catalan por consulta independentista

Artur Mas, the president of Catalonia, is charged by the Spanish Prosecutor's Office with disobedience, malfeasance, embezzlement, and usurpation of functions for organizing a symbolic independence vote in 2014. He is set to testify on October 15. If convicted of disobedience, he could be barred from public office. This development follows the secessionist parties' parliamentary majority win in regional elections, which they view as a mandate to pursue independence, aiming to establish an independent republic by 2017.
