MADRID – The Federation of Jewish Communities of Spain has slammed a Supreme Court decision to overturn the convictions of four people accused of distributing pro-Nazi publications.
The federation said Monday it noted “with extreme concern” that Spain’s judiciary does not consider criminal the sale of books denying the Holocaust and promoting racism.

The court ruling Friday said the men could be found guilty only if they had incited people to commit Nazi-type crimes.
The Israeli embassy also criticized the decision.
The four were linked to the now-closed Kalki bookshop and Circle for Indo-European Studies in northeastern Barcelona. They were convicted in 2009 by a Barcelona court and sentenced to prison terms of up to three-and-a-half years.
