The Public Prosecutor's Office has upheld Txeroki's semi-liberty, but has demanded that the victims affected in France be apologised
He believes it is "fair" to apply the new regime to the former head of ETA, given its "evolution" in prison.
The Public Prosecutor's Office of the Spanish National High Court has endorsed the decisionof the Basque Government to grant the semi-liberty regime to the former head of ETA Garikoitz Aspiazu Rubina, Txeroki, but has demanded, in compliance with the regulations, that the victims affected in the French State be apologised.
In a press release, the Public Prosecutor's Office explains that it has submitted allegations to the Central Prison Supervision Court concerning the application to Txerokiof article 100.2 of the Prison Regulations, since the former head of ETA left Martutene prison for the first time on 9 February.
In particular, the Public Prosecutor's Office recalls that "in the execution of sentences for terrorism, the Spanish regulations require the convicted person to acknowledge the damage caused, to show signs of repentance, to separate himself from the terrorist organization, to repair the victims materially or symbolically and, in practice, to apologize to the victims as an essential expression for the cessation of criminal activity ".
The Public Prosecutor's Office considers that "it is appropriateto apply the principle of flexibility in view of the development of the prison and the individualized treatment programme consisting of the authorization of departures from Monday to Friday for voluntary work ".
However, it stresses that "what the Public Prosecutor's Office of the National High Court has said about the need to apologise to the victims in France"must be communicated to the prisoner as a result of the convictions accumulated in France.
Txeroki, according to the Public Prosecutor's Office, has participated inthe programme of restorative justice workshops sponsored by the Department of Equality, Justice and Social Policies of theBasque Government. "These workshops, which have been held since 15 October 2024, have been held in all training sessions and restoration circles that have had direct contact with the victims murdered by ETA and their families.
