The AN reopens investigations into the ETA attack in Sallent de Gállego after a complaint of attempted genocide

The complaint indicates a way to investigate 327 of the 379 unsolved ETA crimes

MADRID, 28 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The judge of the National Court Manuel García Castellón has agreed to reopen the investigation into the ETA attack perpetrated in 2000 in Sallent de Gállego (Huesca) that cost the lives of a couple of civil guards, following a complaint that frames this crime in "a policy of attempted genocide", a way that would make it possible to declare 327 of the 379 unresolved ETA crimes indefeasible.

In an order from last Monday, to which Europa Press has had access, the head of the Central Investigating Court Number 6 points out that, "deriving from the actions received, evidence by which certain persons could be attributed a participation in the punishable acts investigated, it is appropriate (...) to decree the reopening of the proceedings".

In addition, it notifies the Prosecutor's Office of the complaint presented by the Spanish Association against Impunity and for the Advancement of Human Rights, which is directed against a dozen former ETA leaders, "who allegedly made up the top and the chain of command hierarchy of the terrorist organization at the time of the events" and that, consequently, they had "fighting control" over it and its actions, which would allow for mediate authorship and commission by omission to be considered.

It is about Ignacio Miguel Gracia Arregui, alias 'Iñaki de Rentería'; Javier García Gaztelu, 'Xapote'; Juan Antonio Olarra Guridi, 'Jokin'; Ainhoa ​​Mugica, 'Olga'; Asier Oyarzabal, 'Baltza'; Juan Carlos Iglesias, 'Gaddafi'; Mikel Albisu, 'Like Mikel'; Vicente Goicoechea, 'Willy'; Ramón Sagarzazu, 'Ramontxo'; and María Soledad Iparraguirre, 'Anboto'.
