Former ambassador: Other six ETA members work for Chávez's government
http://english.eluniversal.com/2010/11/29/en_pol_esp_former-ambassador:-o_29A4788893.shtml

Diego Arria, a former minister of Information and Tourism and former Venezuelan Ambassador to the United Nations, said on Monday in Madrid that in addition to Arturo Cubillas, other six ETA members who were deported to Venezuela in 1989 work in the government led by Hugo Chávez.

Arria testified before the Spanish National Court Judge Eloy Velasco, who is investigating the alleged links between Basque terrorist group ETA and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) and their presence in Venezuela.

The former chairman of the UN Security Council conceded that he did not provide new information on the investigation. However, he reported the "State policy of pillage" implemented by the Chávez's government whose main victims are from Spain, Efe reported.

Arria, who testified for over an hour before the Spanish National Court Judge Eloy Velasco, admitted that he does not know Arturo Cubillas, who has been considered the "liaison" between Basque separatist group ETA and Colombia's FARC. The former minister added that he did not provide any information about ETA relations with the FARC.

1. "State policy of pillage" doesn't sound very nice
Ergo Arria's sworn testimony must be false.

2. I thought is was a nice turn of phrase.
Something the government of Spain knows a good deal about too.
