Puigdemont said to be in Belgium as Spanish police try to explain how he escaped

Former Catalan leader Carles Puigdemont made a much-anticipated return to Spain this week despite a pending arrest warrant against him.

Former Catalan leader Carles Puigdemont was back in Belgium on Friday, his lawyer said, after he evaded arrest in Spain for the second time in seven years with a dramatic dash into a getaway car following a public appearance in Barcelona.
