The Spanish Supreme Court has issued new rulings applying the amnesty law to five former Catalan officials involved in the 2017 independence process. The judicial decisions benefit four former members of the Parliament of Catalonia’s Bureau—Lluís María Corominas, Anna Simó, Ramona Barrufet, and Lluís Guinó—as well as former regional minister Meritxell Serret.
The individuals were previously convicted of disobedience for their roles in the legislative actions surrounding the 2017 independence challenge. These latest rulings by the Criminal Chamber follow a recent decision from the Court of Justice of the European Union (TJUE) and represent a further application of the legislation intended to erase criminal records related to the Catalan separatist movement.
