• Hemeroteca Marlaska approaches the ETA member who shot the prosecutor Portero without the support of the jail's Treatment Board

  • Terrorism The standard letter of the ETA prisoners to be approached: "I express my empathy with all the victims"

Justice wants to know how the government's penitentiary policy is being developed with the prisoners of the terrorist organization ETA. And he wants to end the information blockade that the

Ministry of the Interior

maintains on the files of each of the inmates approached or progressed in grade. Thus, the

Superior Court of Justice of Madrid

has given a period of 20 days to the department headed by Fernando Grande-Marlaska to provide information on benefited ETA prisoners. Specifically, the court heard on June 9 the claim in the case of the ETA members who were part of

the Andalusia command

.

«Require the Ministry to refer to this Section, within the non-extendable period of 20 days from the judicial communication, of the administrative file, original or copied, complete, foliated and, where appropriate, authenticated, accompanied by an index, also authenticated, of the documents it contains, notifying the resolution ordering the referral of the file to all those interested in it, in accordance with art. 49 LRJCA so that they can appear before this judicial body in nine days.

The victims filed a contentious-administrative appeal against the resolution of the

General Secretariat of Penitentiary Institutions

-under the Ministry of the Interior-, which agreed, on March 18, the progression to second degree and the transfer from

Castellón

to

Logroño

of Harriet Iragui Gurruchaga condemning as perpetrator of the murder of

Luis Portero García

, chief prosecutor of the

Court Superior of Justice of Andalusia

, notified on 12 March 2021. the resolution was also used

Prisons

progressing to the

second degree and moved from

Granada

to

Logroño

to

Juan Antonio Olarra Guridi

, inducer of the murder.

The Justice of Madrid opens the door for the Interior to have to put an end to the shielding of the files.

The claim was raised by the

Dignity and Justice Association

, chaired by

Daniel Portero

, son of the prosecutor murdered by ETA.

The victims have serious doubts about the prison movements of the Interior.

Specifically, they want to know (and have not yet been able to do so) the files of each ETA inmate benefited by this Executive, the reports of the Treatment Boards.

They suspect that the decisions of, above all, progression of grade, take place against the professional criteria of the prisons.

This doubt, and the suspicion that the writings that the prisoners send to the Interior in which they turn away from violence are standard writings and there is no repentance or request for forgiveness, are what led this association of victims to embark on the path of the courts.

The ETA members of the 'Andalusian command' in the trial for the murder of medical colonel Antonio Muñoz Cariñanos.

But the victims are not the only ones who doubt Marlaska's footsteps.

Both the PP and Vox have demanded

all the information on these files from

the Government in

Congress

.

And the Executive has relied on data protection to deny the information.

Faced with that no, Vox has taken this matter to the

Supreme Court

.

In addition, at the

National Court

itself

there have already been at least three pronouncements from the

Criminal Chamber

, putting into question the standard letters of ETA prisoners, another of the essential elements cited by the Interior in all its public communications to grant penitentiary benefits .

He noted that these are fraud letters.

He denounces that the writings "are not a break with the terrorist postulates, but an attempt at justification for political reasons in line with the gang's discipline."

He considers in his writings that the letters from the ETA members are not a "specific request for forgiveness for the crimes committed" but rather an "instrumentalization in a utilitarian way for the granting of permits", "in line with the discipline of the gang."
