The Criminal Chamber of the National Court has already received the first requests from prisoners of the terrorist organization ETA to benefit from the modification of Organic Law 7/2014, which would allow them validate the sentences they have served in other countries like France.
Legal sources have confirmed to Europa Press that the First Section already has the first writings of some convicted members of the gang in which they are urged to accumulate the rulings handed down in the French country and thus deduct the sentences served in that country.
It is worth remembering that the support platform for ETA prisoners Sare last October 52 the total number of prisoners in the gang who could benefit from this modification, ensuring that there would be seven convicts who should be released from prison this year.
Sare pointed to the possibility that the affected inmates could “claim financial responsibility” specifying that, of them, 48 are in Basque penitentiaries and four in French prisons, with proceedings open in Spain. In total, they pointed out, there are currently a total of 144 inmates of the gang who are serving sentences in different regimes.
The Victims of Terrorism Association (AVT), for its part, calculated that until 44 members of the band, the sentences served in France could be deducted, putting the figure of seven ETA members who could be released from prison due to this modification.
In February 2022, the Government denied that there was “will” by the Executive to reduce the sentence of ETA prisoners through the modification of organic law 7/2014. “There is no will or intention whatsoever,” said the Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska.
However, finally last October the PSOE and Sumar they asserted their majority at the Congress Table to definitively approve the law that validates prison sentences served in the European Union.
The modified rule was, specifically, Organic Law 7/2014, of November 12, on criminal record information exchange and consideration of criminal judicial resolutions in the European Union, for their adaptation to the European Union regulations on the European Criminal Records Information System (ECIS).
