Judge Garzón deliberately sidelined

The internationally renowned Spanish judge was barred from office for eleven years by the Supreme Court in Madrid on Thursday. The left-liberal daily El País criticises the judgement according to which Garzón was guilty of authorising illegal recording of the conversations of defence lawyers with their clients: "The eleven-year disbarment for perversion of justice ends the career of a judge who has performed great services to society in the fight against terrorism, drug trafficking and organised crime. … Garzón's conduct can be justified by the fact that he acted to prevent the crimes of a criminal organisation with ample means to disobey the law, including the complicity of well-paid lawyers. But instead the most foolish, absurd and even insulting argument prevailed: Garzón tried to foil the 'defence's strategies' to the point of lowering the 'Spanish penal process to the levels of a totalitarian system'. With this argument the desired effect was achieved: to put Garzón out of the running as a judge."
