Dnevnik.bg: Parliament decides on amnesty, which will cover no more than 160 inmates, significantly Okraj proposal submitted by the government. The law become effective 40 days after its promulgation.
benefit from amnesty to all those who no later than 1 July 2008, made an inadvertent offense for which the law provides for no more than 5 years in prison. This law will not only convicted, but those whose trial has not yet ended. Once the Act becomes final, prosecutors will have to bring those cases to court and ask for a fine.
The amnesty will not be able to use the prisoners who committed a crime under the influence of alcohol or have severe personal injury or death caused. This exception was added mainly because of the drivers who are intoxicated man killed on the road.
government also wanted to amnesty covered the person who made the deliberate offense punishable by up to 3 years imprisonment, and their punishment has been suspended. Parliamentarians, however, made the decision that the amnesty will not include repeat offenders, as well as the aforementioned persons and criminals, who will serve the majority of penalty, and the convictions were more than 5 years (as suggested in the first draft.)
The amnesty will also improve the situation of persons who have been affected in 1997-2002 by the so-called "prison jackpot." During this period, some judgments were issued, mechanically, and there are people who for the same offense got 70-80 years in prison, while others are only 10 years old. In this case, judgments will be reduced by a special formula. This also applies to persons who are serving sentences for possession of small amounts of drugs, as currently foreseen in the law is you can have a small amount for their own needs. Translated from
