Puigdemont may leave prison

The Catalan separatist leader Carles Puigdemont may leave the prison in Neumünster, Germany.

The court decided Thursday that Puigdemont should wait for the settlement of the extradition procedures outside the prison walls. He must report to the police weekly and may not leave the country. The deposit amounted to 75,000 euros.

The German police arrested the ex-prime minister of Catalonia last month near the Danish border. He was traveling from Finland to his residence in Belgium. Spain has issued a European arrest warrant against the politician.
