DyJ asks the judge to corroborate that the "criminal mark" of 'Txeroki' was to put a loaf of bread in the car bombs

The victims' association expands the lawsuit with which it seeks to reopen the case for the attack in Ondarroa

MADRID, 16 Jun. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Dignity and Justice Association (DyJ) has asked the judge of the National High Court Alejandro Abascal to corroborate that the former head of ETA Garikoitz Aspiazu Rubina, alias 'Txeroki', had a "criminal mark" that consisted of placing a loaf of bread in the dashboard of the car bombs to be used in the attacks perpetrated by the terrorist organization, including the one perpetrated on September 21, 2008 against an Ertzaintza police station in Ondarroa (Vizcaya).

In a letter, to which Europa Press has had access, Dignidad y Justicia explains that "the loaf of bread on the dashboard" was the very unique 'modus operandi' and 'criminal brand' of the defendant Txeroki and his ZUBA", the body ETA executive.

The victims' association indicates that it was used in the Ondarroa attack, which left 18 injured and extensive material damage, and in the one carried out a day later with another car bomb against the Civil Guard barracks in Santoña (Cantabria), which resulted in one fatality.

It details that the sentence issued on October 14, 2013 by the AN for the attack in Santoña expressly stated that "from France the organization provided them with a Peugeot 307 vehicle loaded with explosive material" that the ETA members "recognized because it had a loaf of bread in the dashboard."

"That is to say: also in relation to that other attack, in another town (Santoña) and by another 'command' (...) an identical and exact centralized 'modus operandi' of the 'loaf of bread and in the dashboard,'" he says.

He emphasizes that, although "it could be a loaf of bread, but in the back seats, for example", it was "always" placed on the dashboard, something "unmistakable". "It was 'the sign,' totally accurate," she says.

For Dignity and Justice, it is "a strong rational indication" of "the centralization and superior planning from the ZUBA of its own alleged criminal involvement in both events."

However, it requests the person in charge of the Central Court of Instruction Number 1 to entrust the National Police and the Civil Guard to analyze the 'kantadas' (confessions), the statements at the police and judicial headquarters and "other documents and indications that correspond" to to determine in how many attacks with explosives perpetrated under the ETA leadership of 'Txeroki' this "sign" was used, in order to corroborate that it was their "criminal brand".

Dignidad y Justicia believes that this "criminal indication" could be "of great help" to warn of the "real dimension" of the involvement of a ZUBA that until now has not been prosecuted "never, not once, under any form of responsibility of our Penal Code, for all that series of bomb attacks whose car bombs allegedly provided time and time again to his commandos accompanied by their corresponding loaf of bread, as in the cases of Ondarroa or Santoña".

In this way, the victims' association reinforces the lawsuit it filed last March against 'Txeroki' and the other alleged members of the ZUBA at the time --Aitzol Iriondo, 'Gurbitz' or 'Barbas'; Mikel Carrera, 'Ata'; and Ainhoa ​​Ozaeta, 'Kuraia-- for the attack in Ondarroa, considering that the order that led to it came from them. ETA members Asier Badiola and Ibon Iparraguirre have already been sentenced for this terrorist attack as material authors.
