A COSTA DEL SOL ham firm has sparked outrage in northern Spain.
It comes after deposed Catalan leader Carles Puigdemont, currently under arrest in Germany, announced he is suing Malaga-based wholesaler Pig Demont for causing ‘offence and aggravation,’ claiming its logo is an ‘unauthorised caricature’ in a statement issued by his legal team.

“As far as I know, he doesn’t own the copyright to that hair style,” he added when revealing his intention to fight the accusations.
