The Pleno del Tribunal Constitucional in Spain is scheduled this week to finalize its endorsement of amnesty for the crime of embezzlement committed by leaders of the procés. By establishing a clear and precise legal doctrine, the constitutional court's decision will clear the path for the immediate return of former Catalan president Carles Puigdemont.
The action represents a key legal development in the ongoing resolution of the political crisis surrounding the Catalan independence movement, directly addressing the application of amnesty laws to specific criminal charges previously prosecuted by the state.
