The Supreme Court of Justice denied the criminal appeal, ruling that the final judgment became definitive and binding once the case was fully adjudicated. The appellant attempted to invalidate the verdict by citing non-compliance with essential amnesty formalities under Article 10(1) of Law 16/86, which were not fulfilled prior to the judgment's finality. The court held that such formalities cannot be invoked to annul a judgment after the case has become res judicata, limiting the remedy to extraordinary revision appeals.
