Puigdemont and dismissed cabinet members summoned to court for November 2

A Spanish high court judge accepted the suit against ousted Catalan president Carles Puigdemont and 13 members of his government on Tuesday evening. The state attorney general had earlier filed charges against the president and his ministers for rebellion, sedition and misuse of public funds. The judge summoned the accused to appear in court on November 2 at 9am and gave the president and his ministers three days to deposit bail of 6.2 million euros. If the bail is not paid, the former officials will have their property seized.
