Exhumation of Franco's remains suspended due to pending appeals in court

Spain's Supreme Court on Tuesday decided to suspend the planned exhumation of the remains of former dictator Francisco Franco from a state mausoleum, pending the result of appeals by members of his family.

The Socialist government said in March that Franco would be removed on June 10th from the Valley of the Fallen site outside of Madrid, seen by many as a monument to fascism, to be reburied next to his wife in a family tomb.
