International observers and police officers start second month of witness statements in Catalan trial

Exactly one month since an expected 500 politicians, public servants, experts and onlookers relevant to aspects of the Catalan trial started to take to the witness stand, Wednesday's session began with Helena Catt.

Catt was the lead in an international election academic research team that observed the October 1 referendum on the request of Diplocat, a part-public group set up by the Catalan government to act as its diplomacy arm.

The second witness of the morning is scheduled to be Felix von Gründberg, a German MP for coalition members the Social Democratic Party, appearing on the request of indicted Òmnium Cultural leader Jordi Cuixart.

The Supreme Court program for this afternoon comprises a further declaration from a Spanish Guardia Civil police officer, followed by, for the first time, two members of Catalan police force the Mossos d'Esquadra.

The Catalan officers in question were injured while assisting the Guardia Civil with a high-level investigation in Sabadell.
