Abstract

This work addresses a formal and material legal analysis about the requirements of legality to the nine pardons granted by the Government. It delineates the aspects of parliamentary control and political responsibility in which the Government is pressured when granting pardons to those susceptible to judicial control in the face of eventual remedies. The report unfavourable to the granting of pardons by the Second Chamber of the Supreme Court and the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office is analysed in detail and concludes that the pardons fulfil the requirements of legality.
