Police in Mexico have arrested nine people with suspected links to armed Basque separatist group ETA, Spain’s Interior Minister Angel Acebes has said. Speaking at a news conference in Madrid, Mr Acebes said six of the suspects were Spaniards and the other three were Mexican. As part of the same operation carried out jointly by Mexican and Spanish police, another person was detained in the Basque region in northern Spain, Mr Acebes added. He said that several of those detained had been responsible for channelling funds to and from ETA and had also helped exiled members of the group to hide their identity.
