The head of the Central Court of Instruction Number 3 of the National Court, María Tardón , has agreed to release with precautionary measures for the last former political head of ETA David Pla who has passed this Wednesday to judicial disposition.

According to legal sources to EL MUNDO, the instructor has imposed on Pla the obligation not to leave the national territory, setting a telephone and address where it can be located and appear weekly in court, as requested by the Prosecutor .

The terrorist has appeared before the Hearing after he was handed over by France to be tried for the Halboka case, where the links between lawyers and prisoners of ETA were dismantled, and in which Jon Emparanza and Arantza Zulueta were also involved .

Before being handed over, Pla served a sentence in France for a crime of association of malefactors; similar to the integration into a terrorist organization for which it has been claimed by the Spanish justice.

In the order of freedom, Tardón explains that "in view of the allegations of the parties, it can only be understood that, even though it has provided supporting documentation of compliance with the measures agreed by the French judicial authorities, it is true that for this The court had to resort to the issuance of a European arrest and surrender order to obtain their personal disposition to this procedure, so although provisional detention is not proportionate to such circumstances, other precautionary measures must be taken to ensure that no he will avoid the action of justice in the present case, "in reference to the Halboka procedure.

The magistrate warns the Etarra that if he fails to comply with the precautionary measures imposed, he may face more restrictive measures "even being able to order his provisional imprisonment."
