The Supreme Court plans to lift the arrest warrant for Puigdemont when it receives the endorsement of the Constitutional Court, which will make a ruling on October 6.
The high court will apply the pardon to all the leaders of the ‘procés’ for the crime of embezzlement if the arguments of the court of guarantees can be extrapolated to all.
Spain's Supreme Court is poised to lift the detention order against ousted President Carles Puigdemont once the Constitutional Court provides its approval. This development, following a decision by the Constitutional Court on Tuesday, marks a significant step towards Puigdemont's safe return to Spain. However, this outcome appears almost certain, barring any unforeseen shifts in circumstances.
The lifting of the detention order is contingent upon the Constitutional Court approving amnesties for ex-cabinet members Jordi Turull and Dolors Bassa on October 6th. If the court's reasoning in these cases can be applied to other leaders, Llarena intends to immediately revoke Puigdemont's detention order, independent of the outcome of his appeal against the order.
