A Scottish judge has dismissed extradition proceedings against former Catalan government minister Clara Ponsati.

Sheriff Nigel Ross said it was a "matter for the Spanish authorities" since the academic indicated she would not move back to Scotland from Belgium.

Prof Ponsati faces charges in Spain for her her involvement in the unsanctioned Catalonia independence referendum.

Sheriff Ross said: "You can't extradite someone who is not here."
