James BryceCONTROVERSIAL Spanish judge Baltasar Garzon will not face charges of accepting illegal payments after the Supreme Court ruled the allegations were filed too late.
Garzon had been accused of receiving sponsorship payments from five companies while on a sabbatical in New York.
However the court claims the papers were filed 25 days later than the three year deadline from when the offence occurred.
Garzon – recently struck off for 11 years after been found guilty of perverting the course of justice – still faces further charges relating to the Franco era.
It is alleged he exceeded his remit by opening an investigation into disappearances and crimes committed during the dictator’s reign, ignoring a 1977 amnesty.

spain ….how special you are …. of course the case was late …. (pinnochio)
so you have screwed his life as he cannot now practise law … but suddenly realise the other case was to late ….
you make fools of yourselves and your justice is a fraud .
The main problem of Garzón is that he declared himself competent to investigate this crimes. He was a instructor judge of audiencia Nacional. And the competence is for territorials justice courts. And Garzón Knew that.
Garzón tried to violate de amnesty law. Garzón tried to judge a dead peoples. He crossed the line looking for a nobel price.
AA: Garzon does not need a Nobel Prize, he is already noble. And you sir, are a fool.
