A judge in Tarragona lifts the arrest warrant issued the day prior against CUP MP Laia Estrada

Breaches:



The court had referred the case to the High Court of Justice fn Catalonia for her status as MP, even though the MP had not appeared to provide a statement when summoned. In her rectification, the judge admits doubts on her decision, made the day prior: “Once all has been reexamined, and considering the doubts risen on whether the conclusion of the pre-trial stage referred to the High Court of Justice fn Catalonia entails, or not, the statement as a person under investigation of Laia Estrada in this court, with her arrest due to her not appearing before the Court without a reason, it is appropriate to reasonably lifts her arrest and return the case to the High Court of Justice of Catalonia without her having to provide a statement”.
