Eta member jailed for 83 years
Spain’s National Court today found a former leading member of the armed Basque group Eta guilty of taking part in the 1996 slaying of a Socialist politician and sentenced him to 82 years in prison.
Francisco Javier Garcia Gaztelu, 40, also known as Txapote, was also barred from going near the Basque city of San Sebastian – where politician Fernando Mugica was murdered – for six years should he be released from jail.
