The court also said the man was close to “Russian positions,” and that he sought to stop supporting Ukraine.

In Spain, a 74-year-old pensioner was sentenced to 18 years in prison, who in 2022 sent letters with explosives to the head of the Spanish government, Pedro Sanchez, as well as to the embassies of Ukraine and the United States . The corresponding decision was made by the Supreme Court of Spain on Tuesday, July 23, reports El Pais.

75-year-old former Spanish civil servant Pompeyo Gonzalez was found guilty of terrorism offenses and making explosive, incendiary or combustible devices.

The court’s ruling said the man tried to “cause great unrest in Spanish society” and sought to prevent the Spanish and United States governments from supporting Ukraine in the war with Russia.

The pensioner’s DNA samples were found in the parcels sent. Gonzalez insists he is innocent. According to him, someone dug through his trash can and collected envelopes “and other trash from which pyrotechnic devices were made.”

The court also said that the man was close to “Russia’s position” in this war and that he was opposed to Spanish aid in Ukraine.

“The decision to send the devices should cause chaos and further use them as a means to achieve the planned cutoff of aid to Ukraine,” the judges added.

We remind you that the distribution of envelopes and parcels began with the fact that the Ukrainian Embassy in Spain received a letter containing explosives. One employee was injured due to the explosion. In addition, similar envelopes were sent to the airbase in Torrejon de Ardoz, the weapons company Instalaza, addressed to the head of government and the Minister of Defense of Spain. A package containing an explosive device was also intercepted at the US Embassy in Madrid.

A Spanish court later jailed the sender of the explosive letters.
