Legal action against judge Llarena
Gonzalo Boye, Carles Puigdemont’s lawyer, has decided to bring a complaint against Supreme Court judge Pablo Llarena before the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ). This action is based on what Boye considers an unjustified delay in the processing of resources related to the amnesty law affecting Puigdemont and Toni Comín.
The amnesty law and pending appeals
The legal document submitted by Boye highlights that reform appeals against the decision not to apply the amnesty law to the imputation of embezzlement against Puigdemont have not been resolved. This lack of response, according to Boye, violates the deadlines established by the Criminal Procedure Law, an aspect that has generated concern in the defense.
Non-compliance and consequences
The lawyer points out that the judge has repeatedly failed to comply with the legal deadlines for resolving appeals, and asks that the CGPJ investigate this situation, since he considers that Llarena has committed a significant disciplinary infraction. Boye emphasizes that the appeals should have been resolved during the first fortnight of July.
Delays that generate anxiety
Boye’s complaint not only highlights the delays, but also the repercussions they can have. Judge Llarena declared on July 1 that the amnesty did not apply to embezzlement, and from that moment on, several appeals were filed by the defense, as well as other entities such as the Prosecutor’s Office and the State Attorney’s Office.
Interruption of the judge’s vacation
Boye points out that Llarena suspended her vacation a day before Puigdemont’s return to Catalonia, which adds another level of complexity to this situation. The defense has sent reminders about their request, but they have not received a response.
One more step in the legal fight
Faced with the inaction of the Supreme Court, Boye has decided to escalate the matter to the CGPJ. His action seeks to ensure that Puigdemont’s rights are respected and that justice acts in a timely and appropriate manner. The defense considers that the delay in resolving the appeals is unjustified.
Final reflections on justice
This case not only reveals the complications that can arise in the judicial system, but also raises questions about the impartiality and efficiency of institutions at times of great political pressure. The continuation of these delays could have wider implications for the public perception of justice in Spain.
