2-Jul-18 TV News: 'Leaders about to be transferred to Catalan prisons'

It's a matter of days. Everything is ready for the Catalan jailed leaders to leave the Madrid prisons where they are held. They are about to be transferred to Catalonia – but they will remain behind bars. Today marks eight months since some former Catalan government members were held in custody waiting for their trials. Some were released, and later sent back to pre-trial jail. Others have spent all this time incarcerated. But all of them have been in Madrid centers, around 700km away from their relatives. This week they will be moved closer to their homes, as we'll explain in a minute. Also in our show today: an interview with a former Finnish MP on the political situation and some mixed figures on tourism. / ACN
