Spanish Supreme Court applies amnesty to Puigdemont, lifts arrest warrant

Supreme Court magistrate Pablo Llarena rules the amnesty law applies to former Catalan president Carles Puigdemont, confirming the lifting of his arrest warrant. This marks a significant legal reversal in the long-running 'procés' case, potentially allowing Puigdemont's return to Spain without detention. The decision is a major political and judicial development in Spain's handling of the Catalan independence movement.
