A man wanted by Spain in relation to ETA activities has been handed over to Spanish authorities by Mexican police.
Juan Carlos Rekarte Gutierrez has been wanted in Spain in connection to an attack on the Union and Phoenix building in Pamplona in 1987. During the attack, a Press Merchant was killed. The attack is believed to have been carried out by the Basque separatist group ETA.
Mr. Gutierrez was arrested in Mexico on Monday following a tip-off to Spanish police, he had entered Mexico illegally and it is unclear how long he was resident there.
ETA called a ceasefire earlier this year and it is expected to announce a permanent end to it's armed campaign in the coming months.
