The National Court filed a complaint, considering that the facts are prescribed for the leader of ETA nicknamed Anbotothe cause the murder of Miguel Ángel Blancocommitted in 1997.
This is indicated by a 53-page order, dated this Wednesday, in which the Criminal Chamber accepts the appeal presented against its prosecution by the defense of the member of ETA, whose real name is Soledad Iparraguirre.
This is the first appeal that the Fourth Section of the Chamber has decided. But Anboto She is not the only ETA leader that Judge Manuel García-Castellón has proposed to try in this case, nor the only one to have contested her prosecution.
Last March, the instructor proposed bringing the former ETA leaders, as well as Iparraguirre, to justice. Jose Javier Arizcuren Ruiz (Kantaouri), Miguel Albisu Iriarte (Mikel Antza) And Ignacio Gracia Arregui (Iñaki of Rentería).
Everyone appealed. And Carlos García Berro, the last prosecutor in charge of the case, after several recent substitutions, supported, as EL ESPAÑOL argued, the writings of the defense of Mikel Antza, Iñaki de Rentería And Anboto. The latter, the only one that has been analyzed so far by the Criminal Court, was confirmed, which is why Iparraguirre will not be tried for these facts.
The sources consulted by EL ESPAÑOL reveal that the Prosecutor’s Office will only bring its accusation against Kantaouri by the kidnapping and assassination of Ermua PP councilor Miguel Ángel Blanco, which occurred in July 1997.
In its resolution this Wednesday, the Criminal Chamber indicates that the appeal of Anboto We must think about it, because “otherwise, the principles of legality, legal certainty, non-retroactivity of non-favorable sanctions standards and prohibition of arbitrary action by public authorities would be violated”.
Now, the court says that, precisely, it is he who makes this decision”for the defense of the rule of law that others have tried to take from us through acts of subversion of the constitutional orderthe destabilization of political or economic structures and the social terror which has not been completely overcome.
“This court adheres to the theses supported by the applicant and the public prosecutor on the application of the limitation period to the applicant, taking into account the time elapsed since the commission of the acts subject to judicial control until these criminal proceedings were directed against the “accused herein appellant”, conclude the judges.
