Puigdemont released on bail in Germany
The former Catalan leader was arrested last month on a Spanish-issued arrest warrant as he entered Germany.
A court in Schleswig-Holstein on Thursday agreed to release Puigdemont on bail. It said extradition to Spain was still possible on a charge of misuse of public funds, but not on the charge of rebellion for his role in the campaign for Catalonia’s independence.
