Former Interior Minister Miquel Buch and Puigdemont’s bodyguard Lluís Escolà were the first to benefit from the amnesty law.
The Appellate Division of the Civil and Criminal Chamber of the Supreme Court of Catalonia (TSJC) has agreed for the first time to apply the amnesty to two of those convicted over the ‘trials’. Specifically, the former Minister of the Interior of the Generalitat, Miquel Buch, and the bodyguard of former President Carles Puigdemont, Lluís Escolà, have received the amnesty.
The court declared the extinction of Buch and Escolà’s criminal liability “since the acts on the basis of which their criminal liability was declared in this instance were granted amnesty.”
The former minister was sentenced to four and a half years in prison and twenty years of disqualification for appointing the Mosso d’Esquadra Lluís Escolà (sentenced to four years) in a position of trust to guide former President Puigdemont while he was abroad.
