Venezuela, last sanctuary of ETA: Spanish police suspects 13 members of ETA in the country of South America

After the arrest of Josu Ternera, the historic leader of the demobilized terrorist group ETA, the Spanish police is still looking for about thirty members of ETA, most of them in escape to Venezuela.

Police place 13 former members of the Basque armed movement with outstanding cases in Venezuela, the world's last ETA sanctuary, the press agency said ANSA.

Although they are part of organic structures, escaped ETA members are no longer relevant, with the exception of Iñaki de Juana Chaos, which is in Venezuela.

De Juana Chaos has been in fugue since his release in 2008, when he was accused of the glorification act of terrorism. Under the legislation in force, he served 18 years of a 3,000-year prison sentence for his participation in 25 murders committed between 1985 and 1986.

In 2006, he again drew the attention of the international press to his lack of remorse for the attacks. This is one of the members of ETA protected by the Nicolás Maduro regime. His images were published four years ago in Chichiriviche, in the state of Falcón, where he does business with an alcohol store.

ETA also lives in Venezuela Arturo Cubillas, who collaborates with the chavist regime, who has refused his extradition since 2010, while he was accused of having organized training for ETA and FARC members.

The first members of ETA officially arrived in Venezuela in the 1980s thanks to an agreement between Spanish President Felipe González and Venezuelan Carlos Andrés Pérez.

With the arrival of Hugo Chávez in power, ETA began to have a successful business, which caused an effect called. In Cuba, according to police sources, there are only three of the 20 members of ETA who have been there in recent years.

In Mexico, where ETA members have been quarantined, there are only two left. One of them is Hilario Urbizu San Román, arrested in 2015 and that Mexico has refused to extradite.

In Belgium, Natividad Jáuregui has been at ETA since 2013 and the Belgian authorities refused to deliver her to Spain three times.

The second country with the most members of ETA who fled is France, where there are five, including Alberto Plazaola, sentenced to 46 years in prison.

Josu Ternera was arrested Thursday in the French Alps. He lived in a shack difficult to access the top of the mountain. It is his reading of the communiqué by which ETA announced its dissolution last year that put the police in his footsteps.
