The Spanish National Court sentenced today to 92 years in prison the former leader of the terrorist group ETA, Eneko Gogeaskoetxea, for trying to kill King Juan Carlos I, at the opening of the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao (north) in 1997, in a attack that was thwarted.
The plan for the attack, according to the judgment, was to place a potted Mekar propelled grenades in order to end the life of King Juan Carlos I.
the sentence considered proven that Gogeaskoetxea, with his companion Kepa Arronategi “Katu” command-and convicted of these facts-, was caught manipulating the planters by two police officers who were interested in what they did.
At that time the police shot the condemned causing his death, so the court also condemned to compensate his widow with 500,000 euros.
In their flight, the offender threatened with the gun and used several drivers to ride over to various parts of the city of Bilbao (north).
For all these facts, the court considers perpetrator of a crime against the Spanish Crown in degree conspiracy; of the crimes of homicide, tank weapons, illegal possession of weapons and coercion and two other offenses of illegal detention.
Gogeaskoetxea was considered one of the heads of the ‘military’ and ‘logistics’ apparatus of ETA when his arrest occurred in Cambridge (UK) in 2011.EFE
