Macro-raids across Catalonia over an alleged misuse of funds by the Deputation of Barcelona. 29 people were arrested and around 20 buildings were raided this morning across Catalonia during an operation involving hundreds of police officers. The reason: a public Barcelona authority might have given irregular financial aids to private organizations in the international cooperation sector. This, on the same day as a long-awaited corruption verdict affecting Spain's ruling party was out. A former treasurer of the Popular Party was sentenced to 33 years in jail and a 44-million-euro fine for a corruption scheme involving Rajoy's party. Also in today's news, Spain has issued a new international arrest warrant: this time, against a rapper sentenced to 3 and a half years in jail for his lyrics.
