García Caparrós Sisters Take Custody of Secret 1977 Congress File

Their exclusive access to the long-sealed inquiry comes with strict secrecy rules that will shape their next legal decisions.

Overview

  • The sisters collected two boxes holding thousands of pages from the 1977 Commission of Inquiry into the killing of 18-year-old Manuel José García Caparrós.
  • They were received at the Congress of Deputies in Madrid and met chamber president Francina Armengol before retrieving the materials from the archives.
  • Access was granted solely to the family under declassification limited to them, with the expediente still officially secret and warnings against dissemination.
  • Sumar deputy Toni Valero accompanied the sisters, who plan to study the documents with legal counsel to determine possible actions.
  • The materials are being taken to Málaga today, following a rule change on November 11 that enabled access to the long-restricted congressional file.
