BARCELONA: An Argentine judge, who has investigated a series of cases relating to the Franco dictatorship in Spain, has indicted a former Spanish minister for four cases of alleged homicide, according to court papers seen by Reuters on Saturday .

In the ruling, the judge wrote she considers Villa"the prima facie perpetrator criminally responsible for the crime of aggravated homicide, repeated on at least four occasions, of which Pedro María Martínez Ocio, Romualdo Barroso Chaparro, Francisco Aznar Clemente and Germán Rodríguez Saíz were victims."The case began in 2010 when the Argentine judge began investigating crimes against the Franco government under the principle of universal justice.

The judge ordered the detention of Villa, who is resident in Madrid, but said it was unlikely to happen.
