Catalan government and Parliament bureau accused of rebellion

Carles Puigdemont has officially been accused of rebellion, sedition, and misuse of public funds. This, by Spain’s Attorney General José Maza in an official statement today. The prosecutor also accused the rest of Catalan government, president of Parliament Carme Forcadell, and those Parliament bureau members who allowed the vote on the declaration of independence to take place.

The charges were specifically directed to the main players in the Catalan government responsible for, according to the Spanish government, provoking an “unconstitutional crisis” culminating in a “unilateral declaration of independence.”

While Maza has not requested that any of the accused be imprisoned, he has demanded bail of €6,207,450 for each case.
