Spain's Supreme Court applies amnesty to four Catalan separatist leaders convicted of embezzlement

Spain's Supreme Court has applied the 2024 amnesty law to former Catalan vice president Oriol Junqueras and three other separatist leaders, two years after the law's enactment and following the Constitutional Court's approval of the pardon for embezzlement. This resolves a key legal battle over the amnesty's scope, potentially easing political tensions in Catalonia but may face political backlash from opposition parties.
