Carles Puigdemont freed on bail by German court
5 April 2018
A German court has rejected "rebellion" as grounds to extradite Catalonia's ex-leader Carles Puigdemont and ordered his release on bail.
The Schleswig-Holstein court said he could still face corruption charges in Spain, and it has only suspended extradition - not ruled it out.
He was arrested in the north German region last month, after Spain issued a European Arrest Warrant.
Spain charged top Catalan separatists over October's independence referendum.
The court has been considering what to do about a Spanish extradition request for Mr Puigdemont for more than a week.
