Garzon, the main activist jusdge is both a former (ooficially) high ranking socialist anad a media whore who has time and agina chosen to prosecute cases out of his attributions while through his neglect major criminals and terrorists were released. He is also suspoected from a tip to ETA terrorists allowing them to esacpe a police operation.
He has also been prone to prosecute according to the interests of the sociualist party (eg just before elections indictment of opposition party members who were quickly found void of any substance)
He has exhibitedf a tendency to ignore both the law and injunctions of the court.
Finally, he has played a major role in the stonewalling of the official (ie socialist) version about the Madrid bombings whose investigation is under major suspicions.
Latetely it seems that his fortunes seem to be going down: after he he dedcided to investigate war crimes in Spanish Civil War, more exactly the nationalist war crimes and since these were lapsed he requalified them as “crimes against humankind”. After that he required Franco’s death certificate. At this point he was laughed out of court. Two days ago, Spain’s Supreme Court accepted his indictment for prevarication, a major setback against him as until now Spanish judges have ever closed ranks.
