Former Catalan President Artur Mas, former Vice-president Joana Ortega and former Education Minister Irene Rigau face a 10-year ban on holding public office after being accused of disobeying Spain's Constitutional Court by staging a non-binding referendum on the independence of Catalonia in November 2014. 2.3 million people of a total of 6.3 million eligible voters in Catalonia took part in the referendum and over 80 percent of them cast their ballot in favour of independence.
