FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
That verdict, which Garzon is appealing, halted the rise of a judge who won
global renown by trying to extradite Chile’s former dictator Augusto
Pinochet from London in 1998.
Another case, alleging corruption by the judge in which he was accused of
dropping an investigation into the head of the Santander bank after
receiving payments for a course sponsored by the bank in New York, was
thrown out by the Supreme Court earlier this month.
The three cases were labeled a political witch-hunt by his supporters.
Victims groups, who originally petitioned Judge Garzon to open the probe into
Franco-era crimes and whose members gave evidence in the trial against him,
welcomed the verdict.
”It paves a path for the victims,” said Emilio Silva, the head of a historical
memory association helping local groups to locate and exhume mass graves.
”Tomorrow we will formally ask the Supreme Court to clarify the competence of
the Spanish judiciary to investigate Franco-era forced disappearances.”
But he added that the entire case against Garzon had been a farce.
”What has happened is very sad and completely absurd.”
