Abstract

The analysis of the decree of pardon granted in favour of Sabrina De Sousa, sentenced to seven years imprisonment for the crime of kidnapping in relation to the "Abu Omar" case, demonstrates that, despite the prohibition of political graces established by the Constitutional Court's judgment no. 200 of 2006, a different and highly criticizable reading of the power of individual clemency has been consolidated in the most recent practice.
