Spain’s Judge Baltasar Garzon Convicted For Wiretapping
Spain’s Supreme Court has found the country’s best-known judge, Baltasar Garzon, guilty of authorizing illegal recordings of lawyers’ conversations.
He has been banned from the legal profession for 11 years. The court said he could not appeal against the ruling.
