El Supremo prevé levantar la orden de detención de Puigdemont cuando reciba el aval del Constitucional, que resolverá el 6 de octubre
El alto tribunal aplicará el perdón a todos los líderes del ‘procés’ por el delito de malversación si los argumentos del tribunal de garantías son extrapolables a todos
The final piece of the puzzle for Carles Puigdemont's return appears to be in place, as the Constitutional Court is set to rule from October 6th on the last hurdle preventing the amnesty from being applied. After months of legal battles, the court will finally make a definitive decision on the appeals filed by Catalan nationalist politicians who were excluded from the amnesty for embezzlement - namely former President Carles Puigdemont, as well as his vice president Oriol Junqueras, and three other leaders convicted of embezzlement following the 2019 Supreme Court trial.
The court's first draft of the ruling, penned by conservative judge José María Macías, will endorse this interpretation of the Supreme Court's decision, which is expected to be rejected by the majority progressive bloc.
