Three directors of Sidenor will testify on Wednesday at the National High Court on charges of selling steel to Israel
The AN judge is investigating whether Sidenor illegally sold steel to Israeli Military Industries, whose president, José Antonio Jainaga, and two other senior officials are charged with smuggling and complicity in crimes against humanity.
The president of Sidenor , José Antonio Jainaga, and two other directors of the steel company have been summoned to testify before the National High Court on Wednesday, November 12. The Israeli company IMI Systems (Israel Military Industries) is accused of illegally selling steel.
Those responsible for Sidenor are charged with two offences: on the one hand,smuggling under the Organic Law on Smuggling Repression, and on the other hand, complicity in crimes against humanity under Article 607 (29) and (607) of the Criminal Code.
The judge of the National High Court conducting the investigation, Francisco de Jorge, states in his court decision that Sidenor was aware that IMI was manufacturing weapons and that the sale was made "without informing the Government or registering in the relevant register".
On the other hand, the allegations of crimes against humanity and genocide charged are based on the provisional qualification issued by the Criminal Court of Justice, as well as on "allegations of genocide made by the UN Special Rapporteur, Francesca Albanese, UNRWA and other persons and agencies of the United Nations".
The plaintiff Comunitat Palestina de Catalunya has been brought as a popular accusation in this case, noting that Sidenor "has sent 1,207 tons of steel to Israel since August 2024." The Association is convinced that in three shipments 989 tons were sent to Israel, specifically the text of the complaint specifies that Sidenor sent 393 tons on 4 June, 306 tons on 20 May and 290 tons on 7 August 2024.
Natalia Abu Sharar, president of the Association Ccomunitat Palestina de Catalunya, has stated that "this is the first time such an investigation has been opened in the Spanish state, but it will not be the last." She has also added that from the collective campaign to end the arms trade with Israel, "they will continueto work towards the implementation of a comprehensive and retroactive arms blockade, so that no act of complicity with the Palestinian genocide will go unpunished.
