Changes to Criminal Code to apply these sentences to cases of assassination, genocide and crimes against humanity
MADRID Spain's Criminal, or Penal, Code is to undergo significant changes, some of which we have dealt with in other items. Perhaps the most significant of these changes is in what is being called permanent revisable prison sentences, which is to be applied not only to murder by terrorists but also to the more serious cases of child murder and to those of genocide, assassination and crimes against humanity. This was the essence of the Minister of Justice's press conference that followed the Council of Ministers meeting last week. He said, too, that the permanent 'revisable' prison sentence is similar to life sentences in other countries. And another form of sentence is introduced: the so-called security custody.COMING SOON: SUBSCRIPTION INFORMATION>>>
