Ex-ETA Leader ‘Mikel Antza’ Seeks Delay of Sept. 10 Testimony Over Mallorca Vacation

The judge has yet to rule on a delay request supported by ferry tickets.

Overview

  • He was summoned to appear by videoconference before Judge Francisco de Jorge in the probe into the 1995 killing of PP councilor Gregorio Ordóñez.
  • The defense filed the request on September 1, stating he will be in Mallorca from September 4 to 11 on a long-booked trip and attaching round-trip ferry receipts.
  • The filing asks that his questioning be rescheduled for a date after September 11, with his appearance planned from the San Sebastián courthouse.
  • Interrogations for former ETA leaders Ignacio Gracia Arregui (Iñaki de Rentería) and Juan Luis Aguirre Lete (Insuntza) are also set for September 10.
  • The investigation attributes the order to a 1994 leadership decision, builds on convictions of the Donosti commando, and faces limits from a witness who now says he does not remember key details.
