Former Catalan Minister of Home Affairs Miquel Buch will have to go to trial for misfeasance and embezzlement of public money. The Prosecutor's Office accuses him of having hired a Catalan police officer as an adviser to the Department of the Home Affairs so that he could continue as ex-president Carles Puigdemont's bodyguard in exile, and asks that he be sentenced to six years in prison and be barred from office for up to 27 years. The penalty requested for the former Minister is even higher than the one that the Prosecutor's Office wants for the police officer, who is facing four and a half years in prison and a 23-year ban.
