The Supreme Court confirms the sentences imposed on lawyers Arantza Zulueta and Jon Enparantza

The Supreme Court has partially estimated the appeals of Naia Zuriarrain and Iker Sarriegi and reduced them by one year, admitting that they were less responsible.

The Supreme Court has upheld the prison sentences imposed by the National High Court on lawyers for ETA prisoners Arantza Zulueta and Jon Enparantza in 2022. 

In the case of Zulueta, who was sentenced by the National High Court to seven and a half years' imprisonment for "belonging to a terrorist organization", for the storage of weapons and explosives and for leading the Halboka command, considered the legal front of ETA, Jon Enparantza was sentenced to four years' imprisonment for belonging to ETA.

Both filed appeals on the grounds that they were less responsible than those charged, but the Supreme Court has dismissed both appeals and upheld the sanctions imposed by the National Court. 

On the other hand, it has partially accepted the appeals of two other persons convicted in case 13/13, Naia Zuriarrain and Iker Sarriegi, on the understanding that their responsibility was less because they had subordinate management and responsibilities, or communication, within the structure under investigation, and that no connection with violent activities has been established.

Thus, Zuriarrain has been reduced to three and a half years' imprisonment to two years, and Sarriegui to three and a half years.

Eleven years later, in 2021, the macro-trial for the 13/13 summary began. 

This year marks 15 years since ETA ceased its armed activity and 8 years since it dismantled all its structures.
