AI generated

The Supreme Court of Justice dismissed the request for non-provision regarding the application of amnesty. The court held that the requirements set forth in Article 1, letter (b) of Law 16/86 are not cumulative, meaning only one condition needs to be satisfied for a crime to be considered amnestied. Consequently, the defendant's argument that all conditions must be met was rejected as contrary to the statutory interpretation.
