MADRID, April 17 (UPI) -- A Spanish judge Friday ordered that an investigation remain open into former Bush administration officials in connection with alleged prisoner torture.
Judge Baltasar Garzon ordered that the investigation continue into the actions of six former officials, including former U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, El Pais reported online.
Spanish legal officials argued last week that Spain has jurisdiction in the claim because the country is party to the U.N. Convention Against Torture and three Spanish citizens who were imprisoned at the detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, claimed they were tortured.
Garzon first made international headlines in the late 1990s when he ordered the arrest of former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet.
