After rejecting the Swiss request for Falciani's extradition in 2017, a Spanish court released him on bail. Two Catalan separatist leaders are in Geneva, seeking to avoid Spanish legal proceedings.

After police arrested Falciani in Madrid on Wednesday, a Spanish National Court Judge Diego de Egea released him on bail on Thursday, telling the French-Italian national he had to stay in his Spanish home while the Swiss extradition request was considered.
The 46-year-old's passsport was withheld and he needs authorization to leave the town where he lives. He also has to report to the court once a week.
Falciani came to fame in 2008 when, as a computer analyst working for the Swiss branch of global bank HSBC in Geneva, he leaked information on thousands of bank clients to tax authorities in France.
The information he supplied led to the prosecution of tax evaders in France and elsewhere in Europe. For Falciani it led, in absentia, to a five-year jail term from a Swiss court in November 2015 for financial espionage and data theft. Swiss authorities want him to serve the term in Switzerland.
Arrest warrant issued in 2009
Swiss authorities first issued an international arrest warrant for Falciani in 2009, when he was in France but the French authorities did not comply, instead prosecuting tax evaders. In 2012 he went by boat from France to Barcelona where he was arrested and spent several months in a Spanish jail.
