Spanish government confirms the former Catalonian leader Carles Puigdemont has been arrested in Germany.
Authorities say he was arrested on a European warrant as he crossed the border from Denmark. Puigdemont foiled attempts by Finnish police to arrest him on Friday. His lawyer said he was heading to Belgium, where he has taken refuge from criminal charges in Spain for spearheading Catalonia's independence movement.
