The former president of the Generalitat Carles Puigdemont has been arrested this Thursday on the Italian island of Sardinia, according to legal sources to EL MUNDO.

Supreme Court sources explain that the euro order against the former Catalan president was never deactivated.

The European Parliament decided last March to lift Puigdemont's immunity and the Court of Justice of the European Union upheld it.

The Minister for Foreign Action, Victòria Alsina, and the president of the Parliament, Laura Borràs, also attended.
