- By its decision, the Supreme Court of Spain ratifies the judgment of the Provincial Court of Bizkaia. The only ertzaina was convicted of the death of Iñigo Cabacas.
The Criminal Chamber of the Supreme Court has dismissed the appeals filed by the family of Iñigo Cabacas and the ertzaina Juan José de Pablo against the judgment of the Province of Bizkaia and has ratified the sentence. Therefore, the only convicted Ertzaina will continue to be Officer Juan José de Pablo, who died in the act of Cabacas. The court sentenced him to two years ' imprisonment and four years ' imprisonment, so he was acquitted. He was most responsible for the operation in which he intervened on Calle De Pablo.
Convicted of a single ertzaina
The Bizkaia Court did not condemn the other five Ertzainas who took part in the operation, considering that it is not possible to prove who killed Cabacas and who killed Cabacas. The sentence estimated that the investigation carried out by the Ertzaintza was "insufficient" and that the police operation "was not justified". Those responsible for the Ertzaintza or the Basque Department of the Interior were also not condemned for the events that took place.
Eight years after a pelotazo launched by the Ertzaintza in April 2012 ended the life of bilbaíno Iñigo Cabacas as a result of a head injury.
