Eight Sacked Catalan Ministers Remanded in Custody

Six days ago the leaders of Catalonia were declaring independence from Spain. Today, eight of those leaders have been remanded in custody by a Spanish high court judge, accused of rebellion, sedition and misuse of public funds. The prosecutor also asked the judge to issue a European Arrest Warrant for ousted Catalan leader Carles Puigdemont.
