Madrid has requested to extradite the former Catalan leader, however, the German state court said that corruption charges could lead to his extradition. The German judge has rejected the Spanish accusations of rebellion, as in Germany the treason charge implies the use of violence. The court added that it also finds no reason to believe that ex-Catalan leader risks persecution in Spain.
