Spain judge Baltasar Garzon cleared on Franco probe (BBC)

Spain's Supreme Court has cleared high-profile judge Baltasar Garzon of violating a 1977 amnesty law with his investigation of Franco-era crimes.

Two right-wing groups had accused Mr Garzon of overstepping his powers by trying to prosecute crimes committed between 1936 and 1975.

Mr Garzon said crimes against humanity should not be subject to an amnesty.

Earlier this month, he was suspended from the bench for 11 years after being found guilty of illegal phonetapping.

Mr Garzon has vowed to fight that conviction. He faces a third trial, brought by private parties, which involves allegations that he took bribes.
