A SPANISH court on Wednesday issued an arrest warrant valid only in Spain for a former Catalan lawmaker who moved to Switzerland to avoid being jailed while she is investigated over her role in the region’s secession drive.

The Supreme Court “ordered the arrest” of Anna Gabriel, who failed to turn up on Wednesday before a judge for questioning, it said in its ruling. The arrest warrant only applies “nationally”, a court spokesman told AFP. AFP
