The Supreme Court has declared amnestied the acts of eight people convicted or prosecuted for disobedience and public disorder in the context of the Catalan independence Procés. This is the first application of the law by the High Court after the endorsement of the Constitutional Court and the CJEU.
The Supreme Court has agreed to amnesty four members of the 2019 Parliamentary Board, including former president Roger Torrent, Josep Costa, Eusebi Campdepadrós and Adriana Delgado. They were tried for allowing votes on self-determination and the censure of the monarchy despite warnings from the Constitutional Court.
The decision also affects former Sabadell mayor Maties Serracant, convicted for providing premises for the October 1, 2017 referendum. It also applies to three people convicted of public disorder in protests following the Procés ruling in October 2019.
The Criminal Chamber states that the facts fit into the amnesty law promoted by Pedro Sánchez's government. The court had already raised a question of unconstitutionality resolved in October 2025, and awaited last week's CJEU ruling.
The Constitutional Court is scheduled to examine on September 22 appeals for protection from independence leaders such as Jordi Turull on still pending embezzlement cases.
