The Constitutional Court has dismissed the appeal filed by Jordi Turull against the Supreme Court ruling that imposed 12 years in prison and absolute disqualification for sedition and embezzlement, for his participation in 1-O.
This is the first Constitutional ruling that examines the convictions for these two crimes in the trial of the procés.
Until now it had ruled on the 'minor' sentences for disobedience.
The ruling of the TC, whose rapporteur is the magistrate Pedro González-Trevijano, rejects that the criminal type of the crime of sedition applied has a degree of vagueness that makes it impossible to apply it, and that the Supreme Court has carried out an analogical application of the crime to the detriment of the accused.
The sentence has been unanimous and has the individual votes of Judge Juan Antonio Xiol and Judge María Luisa Balaguer.
