The judge in the case, Pablo Ibar, has decided to keep the identity of the new witness secret
It is 31 years since the murder of the owner of a nightclub and two of its employees. Ibar was found guilty of the three murders and was sentenced to life imprisonment for the crime, although he claims to be innocent.
A new witness claiming that Pablo Ibar is innocent could change the situation of the American prisoner of Basque origin. The most recent thing now is that the judge in the Ibar case has decided to keep the identity of that witness secret.
This witness claims to have identified two people who are the real perpetrators of the crime, which would exonerate Ibar, who is currently serving a life sentence for the murder of a 1994 club owner in Florida, and two of his employees.
31 years have passed since those murders and Ibar has said from the beginning that he is innocent.
Andres Krakenberger, spokesman for the Pablo Ibar Fair Trial Association, explained the latest information on the case.
The defense of Ibar is very hopeful that this witness, who is willing to testify, has contacted them to tell them that the real perpetrators of the murder were two other people.
The new witness is a person Ibar doesn't know, currently lives in a third country (neither in the United States nor in Spain) and has never spoken to the convict.
