Some Catalan police probed for inaction on vote
Judges in Spain's region of Catalonia will investigate the Catalan regional police for allegedly disobeying court orders to stop Sunday's referendum on independence.
The highest court in the region says six different courts have said they will investigate different cases of the regional police not acting to stop the vote that had been suspended by Spain's Constitutional Court.
Agents from Spain's two national police forces, the Civil Guard and the National Police, carried out raids to confiscate ballot boxes and close some polling stations. Authorities say 844 people and 11 police were hurt Sunday in those police raids.
The Catalan police were seen limiting their participation to warning voters that they needed to leave the school polling stations that they were occupying overnight.
