Spanish Supreme Court judge Pablo Llarena has revoked the national arrest warrant for Carles Puigdemont after Spain's Constitutional Court endorsed applying the amnesty law linked to Catalan's independence drive that culminated in a 2017 referendum. The decision removes one of the main legal hurdles to the former president of Catalonia's regional government returning to Spain.
Llarena's move follows a Constitutional Court ruling in favour of former Catalan regional minister Dolors Bassa.
