MADRID: A 74-year-old Spanish man accused of sending a series of letter bombs in late 2022 will be bailed under supervision on Friday, after a high court judge concluded there was no risk that he would re-offend.
Pompeyo Gonzalez Pascual, who faces terrorism charges for allegedly sending primed letters to six institutions including the prime minister’s office and the Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid, has been in jail since January. Investigating judge Jose Luis Calama said he believed there was no longer a risk that Gonzalez would destroy evidence, nor indications that he could re-offend.
Ordering his release following the conclusion of the evidence-gathering phase of the investigation, Calama also cited Gonzalez’s age and the fact that he had no criminal record as factors. –Agencies
