MADRID (Reuters) - Spain's Civil Guard raided the offices of a think tank linked to the governing party in independence-minded Catalonia on Friday, the region's highest court said, as part of a judicial investigation into suspected corruption.
The search by the national military police force came one month before a regional vote in Catalonia, Spain's richest area, that separatists bill as a proxy vote on independence. The election is likely to provoke renewed tension between the region and the national government.
