Overview
- The prison surveillance court approved an ordinary temporary release for Martínez, according to the Asturias High Court (TSJA).
- Martínez is serving a 20-year sentence as a necessary cooperator in the 2014 killing of León provincial leader Isabel Carrasco.
- Judges had previously rejected 27 successive permit requests since Martínez became eligible in 2019.
- The Prosecutor’s Office opposed nearly all earlier requests, citing the crime’s gravity and ongoing risk factors.
- Carrasco was president of the provincial council and the local PP leader, and Martínez’s mother, Montserrat González, remains imprisoned with her at the Asturias facility.
