Spain's Constitutional Court upheld most of the amnesty law for Catalan separatists involved in the 2017 independence bid, pardoning over 300 individuals. Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez hailed the decision as securing Spain's unity. However, the ruling doesn't apply to exiled former leader Carles Puigdemont, who faces separate embezzlement charges. The opposition PP party, calling it a 'corrupt transaction', unsuccessfully challenged the amnesty's constitutionality. Puigdemont's case will be decided later.
