Clara Ponsati, the former Catalan education secretary, will hand herself in to Scottish police today after they received a request for her extradition to Spain. If the request is successful, she will face a rebellion charge over October's referendum and declaration of independence. It is unclear whether the German and Scottish courts will grant the extraditions on the grounds of rebellion. A previous attempt to extradite Mr Puigdemont from Belgium was dropped amid fears the judge would strike out the rebellion charge, which requires the use or threat of violence.
