Spanish Judge Baltasar Garzón has been disbarred for 11 years after being found guilty of ordering illegal monitoring. Garzón is known for taking on international human rights cases, with actions including ordering the arrest of former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet in 1998, indicting Osama bin Laden for the 9/11 attacks, and probing the abuse of U.S. prisoners at Guantánamo Bay. But on Thursday, he was convicted of authorizing illegal recordings between clients and their lawyers in a corruption case involving the governing People’s Party. Spain’s Supreme Court has banned Garzón from the legal profession for 11 years, effectively ending his career as a judge. The court also said he could not appeal against the ruling.
