You may have heard of him because of his attempt to extradite the slightly chilly General Peanuckle. However he goes back much further than that.
It is interesting that he effectively brought down the controversial socialist government of Felipe Gonzalez, which was mired in Caso Gal, with allegations of corruption and a dirty war against ETA. Felipe, a much underrated character in my view, hits the sweet spot as usual and is quoted in response to an attempt by the supreme court to dismiss the judge ...
"I don't have a very special relationship with this man, but what they are doing is inexplicable and unjust."So to sum up..
Judge Battasar Garzon
Fought crimes long gone.
The Spanish Supremes
Said only in your dreams.
