Spain on Alert to Stop Puigdemont Sneaking Back into Barcelona

If Carles Puigdemont believes he can smuggle himself back into Barcelona without getting caught by Spanish police, he should think again, Interior Minister Jose Ignacio Zoido said.


The ousted Catalan president may be tempted to cross into Spain by helicopter, light aircraft or boat so that the regional parliament can reappoint him, Zoido told broadcaster Antena 3 in an interview. The police have specialist teams to monitor his movements and will catch him if he tries, Zoido said.

“We are designing an operation so that this won’t happen,” he said. “We’re going to see to it that he cannot enter -- even in the trunk of a car”, Bloomberg reported.
