  • Catalonia.The Generalitat wants to release the sovereign prisoners due to the state of alarm
  • Secessionism: Oriol Junqueras requests his release from the Constitutional Court for the coronavirus crisis

If the Generalitat of Quim Torra agrees to release the prisoners of the process for the coronavirus, it will face the Supreme Court head-on. As reported by legal sources, in the event that the Treatment Board of the Catalan prisons, where Oriol Junqueras and the rest of the 1-O convicts are interned, agree to their release to comply with the confinement in their respective homes, the Presiding criminal

Manuel Marchena will address each of those general regime boards and the director of the respective centers so that they can explain the legal basis that justifies that decision as soon as possible and identify the officials who have supported that agreement in a nominal manner.

In the event that the releases are agreed, the High Court will demand criminal liability for the possible commission of a crime of prevarication.

This High Court notice comes after the Department of Justice of the Generalitat ordered the treatment boards of the Catalan penitentiary centers to review the cases of inmates to whom the 100.2 of the prison regulations have been applied to see if they can get out of jail to get through the confinement situation at home.

The aim is to extend the measure as well as prisoners with the third degree who went out to work every day and of whom 70% are sleeping at home instead of in prison due to the state of emergency.

From the Supreme Court it has been considered as a "mockery" that the prisoners of 1-O, sentenced to up to 13 years in prison for serious crimes of sedition and embezzlement, availed themselves of 100.2 of the Prison Regulations four months after the notification of the judgment of the Second Chamber.
