The Constitutional Court addresses this Tuesday the first appeal from a convicted individual of the 'procés' for the application of the amnesty law, that of former councillor Jordi Turull. The decision will determine whether Carles Puigdemont can return to Spain.

The Constitutional Court is examining the first amnesty appeal submitted by a convicted individual of the 'procés'. This concerns former councillor Jordi Turull, as reported by EFE. The court's ruling will determine whether the former Catalan president Carles Puigdemont, who has been in exile since 2017, can return to Spain.

The European ruling that endorsed the amnesty opened the door for the Constitutional Court to now address this first case. The court must decide whether to grant forgiveness to Turull, a step that will set the precedent for the remaining pending appeals from those convicted in the 'procés'.

Puigdemont has been in Belgium since 2017. His return to Spain depends on the Constitutional Court endorsing the application of the amnesty to the convicted individuals, starting with Turull's case.
