MADRID - Spain’s Supreme Court is expected to announce its verdict on Monday in the high stakes trial of Catalan separatist leaders over a banned independence referendum, a judicial source said on Friday.
The verdict and the severity of any sentence, with the public prosecutor seeking prison terms of up to 25 years, could stoke protests that have been called for next week throughout Catalonia. When the trial got under way in February, the Supreme Court highlighted its significance. “It’s the most important trial we have had in democracy”, Supreme Court President Carlos Lesmes told reporters, referring to the country’s return to democracy in the 1970s.
