Belgium has rejected to extradite
three Catalan deposed ministers wanted by Spain. A Belgian judge
dismissed on Tuesday the European Arrest Warrant issued by Spain for
Lluís Puig, Toni Comín and Meritxell Serret.
In a hearing in Brussels, the prosecutor and the defense agreed that the extradition request had “procedural defects” and “irregularities”, and therefore the judge rejected it. “We demand the end of judicialization of politics and the release of all our colleagues” said Meritxell Serret immediately after knowing the court’s decision.
Toni Comín, Meritxell Serret and Lluís Puig are wanted by Spain over their role on the October 1 referendum and subsequent declaration of independence. Comín is accused of violent rebellion and misuse of public funds, while Serret and Puig are wanted for the lesser charge of disobedience and misuse of funds.
