This Wednesday, the Spanish Ministry of Justice asked the country’s Supreme Court to revoke the detention order for Catalan separatist Carles Puigdemont and fully apply to him the amnesty law recently approved by Parliament.
According to documents cited by Spanish media, prosecutors also argued that the Supreme Court should apply the amnesty law without restrictions to all other separatists convicted, accused, investigated or wanted by that judicial body due to the illegal referendum and unilateral actions of 2017. declaration of independence of Catalonia.
Thus, the prosecutor’s office took over the defense of the full application of the amnesty law against the Catalan leaders after the four prosecutors who tried these cases in the Supreme Court withdrew from the cases because they believed that not all crimes were eligible for amnesty, e.g. as embezzlement (misuse of public funds, namely the organization of the illegal referendum of 2017, for which Puigdemont is accused).
