Ángel Francisco Carromero Barrios is the secretary general of the Madrid regional branch of the Spanish People's Party's youth organisation ''Nuevas Generaciones''. On home release in Spain, he is currently serving a four-year prison sentence handed to him in Cuba for the involuntary manslaughter of Cuban dissidents Oswaldo Payá and Harold Cepero. == Detention in relation to the death of Oswaldo Payá== 27-year-old Ángel Francisco Carromero was detained by Cuban authorities immediately following the July 22, 2012 vehicular deaths of political dissidents Oswaldo Payá and Harold Cepero, both of whom were passengers in a car that collided with a tree. Ángel Carromero, a Spanish political operative who was driving the rented vehicle at the time of the accident, received non-life-threatening injuries; Jens Aron Modig, a Swedish politician who was also a passenger in the car, was similarly injured in a non-life-threatening way. The road the car was on has been described by news sources as being "in the process of repair, covered in abundant gravel, and, therefore, very skiddy;" following an investigation, officials declared that Carromero was speeding and failed to heed traffic signs warning of construction ahead. The accident occurred on kilometer 724 of the Las Tunas-Bayamo road, near the city of Bayamo.〔(Detenido el español que conducía el vehículo en el que murió Payá )〕〔(Las claves del 'caso Carromero' )〕 The Cuban government accused Ángel Carromero of illegally financing Cuban government-opposition groups.〔(Cuba acusa al político del PP retenido de financiar ilegalmente a la oposición )〕 Manslaughter charges were levied against Carromero for the two vehicular deaths, with Cuban authorities asserting that in a case such as his, in which negligent actions resulted in "grave consequences," Article 177 of the Criminal Code required a maximum sentence of 10 years imprisonment. For their part, the family of Oswaldo Payá did not file charges against Carromero; furthermore, they have stated, on various occasions, their suspicions vis-a-vis the Cuban government and its purportedly oppressive machinations against them and other dissidents, and, especially, against the late Oswaldo Payá, machinations which, the family claims, may have in some way contributed to the latter's death.〔 Carromero's trial in Cuba began and ended on October 5, 2012.〔(El juicio contra Carromero se celebrará el 5 de octubre )〕 The Cuban Attorney General's office sought to impose a penalty of seven years in prison for Carromero, however, he was ultimately given a sentence of four years, which, owing to a bilateral convention on the execution of sentences existing between Cuba and Spain, could be served in the latter country. Ángel Carromero arrived in Spain on December 29, 2012 and was temporarily held at the Centro Penitenciario de Segovia.〔(Ángel Carromero, condenado a cuatro años de cárcel por el accidente de Payá )〕 Since mid-January 2013 he is serving the remainder of his sentence under open-regime detention: At first he had to spend the nights from Monday to Thursday in a supervised reintegration center in Madrid. During working days, he was able to move freely and follow his daytime work, and was allowed to spend the weekends at his own home.〔(Spanish Prison Approves Lenient Detention Regime for Carromero )〕 In mid-February 2013 he was granted additional freedom of movement by way of an ankle monitor, making the overnight stays at his reintegration center unnecessary.〔''(Conceden el control telemático a Carromero, que llevará una pulsera ),'' (spanish)〕 According to Spanish media reports in late January 2014, Carromero was preparing the publication of a book with further details about his experience in Cuba.〔''(Ángel Carromero publicará sus «memorias». )'' ABC.es, 25 January 2014 (spanish)〕〔''(Ángel Carromero contará en un libro su versión sobre la muerte de Payá. )'' Diario de Cuba, 29 January 2014 (spanish)〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ángel Carromero」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
