The Constitutional Court declared the appeal against the amnesty law inadmissible and extinguished the proceedings. The Ministry of Public Prosecution challenged the amnesty granted to a minor offense, arguing it violated constitutional principles. The court ruled that since the amnesty was enacted by a valid law, the specific criminal act was legally extinguished, leaving no ground for constitutional review.
