FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
He attempted to launch an investigation into the death and disappearance of an
estimated 110,000 people killed during Franco’s regime but within weeks he
dropped his “truth commission” after state prosecutors questioned
his jurisdiction, arguing that it contravened an 1977 amnesty. The case
against Garzón stemmed from a complaint by a far-Right group called Manos
Limpias, or “clean hands”. It alleges that the “super judge”
had a Left-wing bias and was abusing his power.
A third case, which has yet to be given a trial date, alleges that Garzón
dropped an investigation into Santander bank after receiving money from the
group. He denies all charges.
Arriving at court on Tuesday he was met by a crowd of supports including
relatives of those killed by Francoist forces and human rights groups
grateful for his efforts in pursuing cases around the world.
“What bitter irony that Garzon is being prosecuted for trying to apply at
home the same principles he so successfully promoted internationally,”
said Reed Brody, spokesman for Human Rights Watch, outside the court.
Garzon earned a reputation for using the principle of universal justice to
hear human rights cases from other countries. In 1998 he issued an arrest
warrant for Gen Augusto Pinochet who at the time was seeking medical
treatment in London.
His extradition request was denied by British authorities but eventually led
to investigations being opened in Argentina.
