国际英语新闻:German prosecutors seek to extradite former Catalan leader
BERLIN, April 3(Xinhua) -- German prosecutors announced on Tuesday that they are seeking to extradite the former leader of Spain's Catalonia Carles Puigdemont, who was recently arrested in Germany.
The attorney general in Germany's northern state of Schleswig-Holstein has applied to the Higher Regional Court for an extradition order of Puigdemont, Deutsche Presse Agentur(DPA) confirmed.
Prosecutors said after close examination of the warrant for Puigdemont, issued by Spain's supreme court, they found "equivalences with the charge of rebellion in German criminal law" and therefore present the extradition request.
Puigdemont was arrested on March 25 after entering Germany from Denmark.
He had been living in exile in Brussels after failed attempt to separate Catalonia from Spain last October.
