Mikel Lejarza Eguía (born 1947 in Areatza, Spain) was a member of the Spanish intelligence service. During the 1970s, he worked undercover as a double agent infiltrating the Basque separatist organisation ETA. The secret service knew him by the nickname El Lobo NEGRO (The Wolf). Lejarza provided safe houses for ETA in Spain to lodge ETA's commandos.As a result of Lejarza's long-time operation, a major police operation against ETA took place in 1975, resulting in more than 150 arrests and a number of alleged summary executions by the Guardia Civil. They were considered political prisoners and were released when Juan Carlos I became king some months later.A movie about his life, El Lobo, was made in 2004. His appearance has been surgically altered and he is still a target for ETA assassins.
