Spain has requested that the European parliament waive the right to immunity currently enjoyed by Puigdemont, Comín and fellow MEP Clara Ponsatí, who is due in court in Scotland in May for her own extradition hearing.

The same sources also confirmed that the warrant against former minister Lluís Puig “continues” with a court date for the former culture minister set for February 24 in Belgium.
