Spanish man stentenced to 18 years in prison: Sent explosive devices to state officials

The supreme court of Spain sentenced Pompeo Gonzalez Pasquale (74), who in 2022 sent parcels with explosives to state institutions and embassies, to 18 years in prison.

The court found the former civil servant guilty and sentenced him to 10 years in prison for terrorism and another 8 years for manufacturing explosive devices for terrorist purposes, it has been reported.

In late 2022, González Pasquale was found to have sent six packages of improvised explosive devices to Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, Defense Minister Margarita Robles, as well as the Ukrainian and US embassies in Madrid, an air base and a weapons manufacturing company.

 

During the explosion of one of the packages, an employee of the security service of the Ukrainian diplomatic mission was injured, however, most of the dangerous shipments were neutralized.

Gonzalez Pasquale was arrested in January 2023, and in April a judge released him on bail, citing the defendant's age and lack of criminal record.

 

- González Pasquale acted with the aim of causing a major disruption in Spanish society in order to put pressure on the governments of Spain and the United States of America, other institutions in Spain, to stop supporting Ukraine in the war against Russia, according to the court decision.

 

The Spaniard must also pay 1,500 euros in compensation to Mikola Velička, the injured employee of the Ukrainian embassy.

Today I want to offer my full support for Kamala to be our party's candidate this year. Democrats - it's time to come together and defeat Trump. Let's do it - wrote Biden on the X platform.
