Three Mossos d'Esquadra officers have been detained for allegedly aiding the escape of former Catalan President Carles Puigdemont during his recent visit to Barcelona.

Puigdemont, who is wanted by the Spanish Supreme Court, managed to evade arrest with the alleged assistance of these officers, one of whom was part of Quim Torra's security detail.

The incident has sparked controversy, with Torra and Puigdemont criticizing the disciplinary actions taken against the officers.

Despite the arrests, all three officers have been released without precautionary measures.

The Mossos' internal affairs division continues to investigate the potential involvement of other public officials in the escape plan.

The situation has led to a public outcry and calls for a review of the disciplinary actions against the officers involved.
