Hours after leaving office, Catalan leader carles puigdemont and 4 affiliates turned themselves to police.A Belgian judge has granted them all conditional bail after Spain issued a European arrest warrant for rebellion and embezzlement of public funds.
According to Belgian prosecutor,the group is scheduled to appear in court within 15days and they've all been sanctioned from leaving the country without the judge permission.“The next step in the proceedings is the appearance of the five defendants before the Chambre du Conseil within the next 15 days,” prosecutors said in a statement.
A warrant was issued for their arrest after they failed to appear before a high court in Span to answer for rebellion and sedition charges.
The arrest warrant issued by Judge Carmen Lamela which also added two more charges, prevarication (lying) and disobedience, was reportedly issued on the grounds that it is public knowledge that Puigdemont is in Belgium.
