Catalonia's former president Carles Puigdemont granted bail in Sardinia after arrest
Former Catalan president Carles Puigdemont was granted bail today after being arrested on Thursday in Italy using a European arrest warrant.
The 58-year-old MEP must now stay in Sardinia, where he was arrested, until the issue of whether a European warrant is applicable or not is decided.
Mr Puigdemont stepped off a plane at Alguero airport in Sardinia on Thursday and was arrested in a move that could see him extradited to Spain to face sedition charges.

Mr Puigdemont is wanted in Spain on allegations of sedition over his attempts to have the Catalan region break away from Madrid through the 2017 referendum.

Don't worry too much, though - the arrest of a serving MEP for "sedition", meaning the organising of a referendum on independence in a democratic country, is not "of national interest" in the USA - officially.
