Exministro Hernán Larraín por rebaja de condenas: “Quedó claro que no procedía aplicar el principio de irretroactividad”
Full story
Former Justice Minister Hernán Larraín issued a statement regarding the reduction of prison sentences. He argued that during the legislative debate for the 2022 law, it became evident that the principle of non-retroactivity did not apply. Larraín stated that the measure should be viewed as a prison benefit rather than a penal norm. This distinction meant that sentence reductions should have been applicable.
A través de un comunicado, el extitular de Justicia, durante el gobierno de Sebastián Piñera, aseguró que en el debate legislativo sobre la ley aprobada en 2022 "quedó claro que, tratándose de un beneficio carcelario y no de una norma de naturaleza penal", no procedía aplicar la rebaja de condena.
