MADRID: - The Spanish judge in charge of processing charges against Catalan secessionist leaders will not issue a European arrest warrant for former Catalan president Carles Puigdemont until at least Friday, a court source said. Newspaper La Vanguardia had said earlier on Thursday the judge had issued the warrant. "The warrant will most likely be issued on Friday," the source said on condition of anonymity. Members of the Catalan regional government spent their first night in jail in Spain, as ousted president Puigdemont was weighing his legal options in hiding in Belgium.
