The murder of Carlos Palomino occurred in Madrid, Spain on 11 November 2007. The legal case found that Josué Estébanez de la Hija was guilty of killing Palomino with ideological motivations, and Estébanez was sentenced to 26 years in prison.
Facts of the Case[edit]
On the morning of November 11, 2007, a demonstration against immigration was convened in a neighborhood with a significant immigrant population by the far-right National Democracy party. According to the judicial summary, Josué Estébanez ( Galdacano , 1984), a professional soldier, was going to participate in the demonstration, a fact that he denied. Antifascist and leftist groups had called a counter-demonstration in the same place to show their opposition to the presence of the National Democracy party.
Footage from metro surveillance cameras shows that at platform 3 of Legazpi Station, dozens of antifascist youngsters entered a subway car to go to participate in the counter-demonstration. Josué Estébanez was also in that car. Once Estébanez noticed the young men, he took out a pocketknife with a 25 cm blade from his pocket and hid it open behind his back. Estébanez was wearing a sweatshirt with the a "Three Stroke" branded sweatshirt, often associated with neo- Nazi skinhead symbology. One of the young people who got on the train noticed that Estébanez was carrying the knife, but Carlos Palomino, upon entering the car, did not realize it and confronted Estébanez about the sweatshirt. At that time, Estébanez stabbed Palomino in the left side of his chest, which affected his heart and would later cause his death.
