The Supreme Court of Justice dismissed the appeal regarding the applicability of amnesty to a final criminal conviction. The defendant argued that the amnesty provided by Law 23/91 should cover crimes under Articles 165 and 168 of the Penal Code, despite the sentence being final. The court ruled that the amnesty only benefits those whose sentences have not yet become final, thereby excluding this defendant from its scope.
