La Fiscalía pide 30 años de cárcel para cinco exjefes de ETA por el asesinato de Gregorio Ordóñez
El ministerio público propone escuchar en el juicio a dos etarras que declararon como testigos protegidos contra la antigua cúpula de la banda terrorista
The prosecution is seeking a 30-year prison sentence for five former ETA leaders in connection with the murder of Gregorio Ordóñez, a popular tenor mayor of San Sebastián (Gipuzkoa) killed by a single shot to the neck on January 23, 1995. The public prosecutor's office emphasizes that the beloved mayor became the "first politically significant victim" selected by the terrorist hierarchy.
This marks a step against José Javier Arizcuren, also known as Kantauri, Ignacio Gracia Arregui, Iñaki de Rentería, Miguel Albisu, Mikel Antza, Julián Achurra, Pototo, and Juan Luis Aguirre, Isuntza. Judge Francisco de Jorge, the prosecutor for the National Court, had already indicted all five for the crime in 2025. The National Court continues to pursue other cases against former ETA leaders for crimes committed by their subordinates.
Civil associations such as Dignidad y Justicia (DyJ) are pushing for the approach of accusing the ex-directors as "intellectual instigators of the crimes" due to their absolute control over the terrorist organization. Recent summaries include the 2006 attack on Terminal 4 of Madrid-Barajas airport and the killing of Miguel Ángel Blanco.
