ETA prisoners | The Supreme aunará the criterion releases – EiTB

The Supreme Court has not reached agreement on the criteria to follow to build sentences and delay its final decision

.

Criminal Chamber of the Supreme Court has not finally adopted on Tuesday any general criteria on how European regulations allow prisoners subtracting the time spent in prisons in other countries of the European Union time to apply.

The city would try Tuesday the possible release of the former member of ETA Kepa Pikabea under a European standard 2008 cumulation of convictions and whether his decision was extended to other inmates, but eventually has I agreed to meet again on January 13 after hearing prior to the prosecutor and defense.

This is because Pikabea asked to be applied the European framework decision before the Congress of Deputies the inclusion in state law, which he did by an organic law passed last November and limiting the accumulation of penalties for convictions from August 15, 2013.

The postponement of the debate on the merits occurs after more than five hours of intense deliberations , very technical.

The decision taken has finally attracted much interest because could affect more than fifty ETA prisoners who have served part of their sentences in other states of the European Union and whose resources have not yet reached the high court.

Among them are recently released by the National Court Arrospide Sarasola and Alberto Santiago Anduaga Plazaola. In these cases the accumulation of sentences a day before the entry into force of Law 7/2014, agreed and were released a day later

Thus, both Arrospide as Plazaola viewed deducted from the penalties which were initially sentenced to periods of imprisonment met in French prisons. The fact that other sections of the High Court ruled against release other prisoners in the same situation exists.

The High Court agreed to the above releases even though the prosecution had already announced its intention to appeal to the Supreme Court the new calculation of penalties pursuant to an additional provision Unica law whose application had avoided prison leave
