Judiciary advisory board approves Garz\u00f3n’s transfer to International court <\/p>\n
Yesterday the Permanent Advisory Board for the Judiciary (La Comisi\u00f3n Permanente del Consejo General del Poder Judicial – CGPJ) gave permission to the high court judge Baltasar Garz\u00f3n to become a member of the International Criminal Court working as an external collaborator. <\/p>\n
This decision comes after the suspension of Garz\u00f3n following the court case which is still in progress in which he faces accusations over his investigations into the crimes of Franco and the illegal financing of the Partido Popular. The Permanent Advisory Board for the Judiciary which has five members – Carlos D\u00edvar, Almudena Lastra, Manuel Almenar, Margarita Robles and Antonio Dorado \u2013 met in Madrid yesterday to consider the request by Garz\u00f3n to work in the International Criminal Court. <\/p>\n
A report issued by the state prosecution service concluded that Garz\u00f3n\u2019s transfer to the International prosecution Tribunal did not give him any type of immunity from being prosecuted. It also concluded there were no restrictions on Garz\u00f3n travelling abroad despite the current court case. <\/p>\n
In addition a report by the Ministry for Foreign Affairs and Cooperation considered that the presence of Garz\u00f3n in the International court in the Hague in Holland would be of interest to Spain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
