Police know which car Puigdemont is in, but don’t know his whereabouts. Borders with France under control

According to Spanish media reports, Catalan police have launched a “prison operation” aimed at detaining independence supporter Carles Puigdemont. Following the operation, a Mossos d’Escadre agent was arrested for borrowing the car in which the Catalan escaped.

Although the police do not know the whereabouts of the Catalan, they know that he is hiding in a white Honda. The borders with France are monitored with particular attention.

The politician’s escape left police baffled as they had hoped to arrest Puigdemont before he entered the Catalan parliament, which never happened.

Catalan addresses crowd

The Catalan was addressing a large crowd that disappeared after communicating with supporters of the separatist movement.

Puigdemont reportedly headed towards parliament as soon as he left the stage where he spoke. Along the way, he was surrounded by people, including some leaders of the Juntas de Catalunya party he founded.

The human shield was supposed to prevent him from being detained by the Catalan police Mossos d’Esquadra. However, despite his expected presence in parliament, Puigdemont suddenly disappeared.

Theories Motivated by Disappearance

Since his disappearance, several theories have emerged about his plan: he would surrender, enter Parliament through a different door, or return to exile.

The Catalan leader returned to Spain on Thursday after more than seven years. Puigdemont, who has been living in Belgium since 2017, is wanted by the Spanish justice system for embezzlement.
