Summary of the bill.
The draft bill proposes limiting appeals of acquittals issued at first instance by Trial Courts (Tribunales de Juicio). The rule would be added to the Criminal Procedure Code and would bar appeals by the Public Prosecutor’s Office (Ministerio Público) and private complainants. It establishes narrowly defined exceptions for appeals by the Public Prosecutor’s Office, a summary admissibility procedure, and express protection against renewed criminal prosecution for the same acts.
