Busturia prisoner Ibon Goieaskoetxea has left Mont de Marsan prison after serving an 11-year sentence to which he was convicted. On 15 September, the French State extradited it to Spain in accordance with the Euroorder issued against it.

The Spanish National Court, which still has accusations against it, had to be made available to the courts. Since there is no evidence for the charges against him, he is released on probation. These conditions include the withdrawal of the passport and the obligation to sign in the courts on a weekly basis.

After these provisions had been made, the Basque political prisoner was released on the afternoon of 16 September. His relatives have received him in Madrid, before beginning the journey back home, where he has died.
