The Supreme Court of Justice extinguished the criminal proceedings due to the supervening invalidity of the lawsuit following the application of amnesty. Although the crime was covered by the amnesty law, the defendant failed to formally request this benefit within the prescribed deadline. Consequently, the court ruled that the criminal procedure and the instance were automatically terminated because the legal basis for the prosecution had vanished.
