Bill on improvement of application of penal justice

A bill titled “Rationalisation and improvement in the applica-tion of Penal Justice” was tabled in Parliament.

Among other things, it anticipates the new regulation of issues on the conversion of sentences on the restriction of freedom to financial ones, with the general rule that the restrictive sentence above two years that does not exceed three, will be converted from now on to a financial one on conditions, while the criteria on determining the amount of the conversion will be redetermined.

Moreoever, it is anticipated that for sentences that have not been converted, provided that one fifth of them has been served they will be converted into a financial sentence by the court and the release of the detainee will be ordered.
