The National Court acquits the ETA Anboto of ordering an attack in Oviedo in 1997 | Courts

The National audience has decided to acquit the ETA leader Soledad Iparagirre, alias ‘Anboto’, accused of ordering an attack against a National Police barracks in Oviedo in 1997 with several grenades. The sentence, which has a private vote against that is committed to condemning, highlights that Iparagirre has already been tried and sentenced for his terrorist activity in France.

According to the Prosecutor’s Office, it was Iparagirre who ordered this attack perpetrated by two ETA members already convicted, Kepa Arronategi Y Eneko Gogeascoechea, who denied Anboto’s involvement in the trial. “I went into ETA because it had no other solution, “Iparagirre said during the trial.

The National Court has chosen to acquit the ETA leader, with the magistrate Jose Ricardo de Prada as speaker, ensuring that “we believe that there are reasons to affirm the existence of res judicata material, between the facts investigated and prosecuted in France and for which a conviction fell and those that are now being tried in Spain, which should have led to the existence of a twice in the same and the impossibility of his new trial in Spain “.

The Prosecutor’s Office will appeal this decision, which has the private vote of one of the three judges of the court. Considers the private vote that the Court should have imposed more than 70 years in prison on Anboto for attempted crimes of terrorist murder, terrorist ravages and also terrorist injuries as well as to compensate those affected.
