The search of the businessman from Gipuzkoa Jesus Guibert Azkue, oredered today by Spanish high Court’s judge Baltasar Garzon in relation with the presumed extortion payments to the armed Basque group ETA has already finished, as sources of the antiterrorist group have informed.
According to these sources, police agents were looking for some letters that the band would have allegedly sent to him to claim payments.
Jesús Guibert Azkue, 81 years old, was kidnapped last March 21st, 1983 when he was the general manager of the firm Laminados de Hierro Marcial UCIN SA, and was released 17 days later after having presumably paid 150 million ptas.
The presumed payments to ETA were reported in some papers seized last May 21st to Francisco Javier Lopez Peña, Thierry, considered by the police as one of the leaders of the armed band.
