The authorities in Mexico have confirmed that Mexican police have arrested Luis Miguel Ipiña Doña, reported as a veteran member of the ETA terrorist organisation, on suspicion of dealing in weapons.

Originally from San Sebastián and now aged 60, he has lived in Mexico for more than two decades after fleeing the Basque Country to avoid arrest for his alleged links to ETA. He has lived in Queretaro, in central Mexico, since then and has held Mexican nationality for a number of years.

Known as ‘El Torero’ – ‘The Bullfighter’, Ipiña used his own identity for his new life in Central America and has published two books, ‘A Mexican in the Basque Country’ and ‘Basque Exiles’.
