Catalonia's deposed leader Carles Puigdemont and four former advisers have turned themselves in to Belgian police, says a Belgian prosecutor. He said an investigating judge would decide by tomorrow morning whether to execute an EU arrest warrant issued by a Spanish judge on Friday. Mr Puigdemont fled to Belgium after Madrid imposed direct rule on Catalonia following an independence referendum.<br/><br/>He has said he will not return to Spain unless he is guaranteed a fair trial. He and his four associates are wanted on charges of rebellion, sedition, misuse of public funds, disobedience and breach of trust.<br/><br/>Puigdemont earlier told Belgian media he did not flee Spain, but travelled to Brussels to avoid violence. Violence has never been an option for us, he said.<br/><br/>Catalonia has been in political upheaval since October 1, when the region held a disputed referendum on independence from Spain.
