c) a minimum of twenty-two years’ imprisonment, if convicted of several criminal offences, two or more of them punished with permanent, revisable imprisonment or one of them punished with permanent, revisable imprisonment and the rest with penalties that sum up to a total of twenty-five or more years.

b) a minimum of thirty years’ imprisonment, in the cases referred to in Sub-Paragraph c) of the preceding Section.

On probation

Article 92

1. The Court of Law shall order the suspension of permanent, revisable imprisonment with the possibility of parole when the following circumstances are fulfilled:

a) That the convict has served twenty-five years of his sentence, notwithstanding the provisions of Article 78 bis for the cases regulated therein;

b) That he has attained pre-release prison treatment;

c) That the Court of Law, taking into account the personality of the convict, his record, the circumstances of the criminal offence committed, the significance of the legally-protected rights that may be affected by a repeat offence, his behaviour while serving the sentence, his family and social circumstances and the expected consequences of the actual suspension on the enforcement and fulfilment of the measures imposed, can establish the existence of a favourable assessment of social integration, upon evaluating the progress reports submitted by the prison and by those specialists determined by the Court of Law itself.

In the event that the convict has been sentenced for several criminal offences, the examination of the circumstances referred to under Sub-Paragraph c) shall be carried out by collectively assessing all of the criminal offences committed.

The Court of Law shall resolve the suspension of the penalty of permanent-revisable imprisonment with the possibility of parole after adversarial trial proceedings in which the Public Prosecutor and convict shall appear, assisted by his solicitor.

2. In the case of criminal offences related to organisations and terrorist groups and criminal offences of terrorism regulated under Chapter VII of Title XXII of Book II of this Code, it shall also be necessary for the convict to show unequivocal signs of having abandoned the ends and means of the terrorist activity and of having actively collaborated with the authorities, either to prevent other criminal offences being committed by the organisation or terrorist group, or to mitigate the effects of his criminal offence, or to identify, capture and prosecute those responsible for terrorist criminal offences, to obtain evidence, or to prevent the activities or development of the organisations or associations to which he has belonged or with which he has collaborated, which may be accredited by a specific declaration of disavowal of their criminal activities and abandoning violence, and specifically apologising to the victims of his criminal offence, as well as by means of technical reports that accredit that the convict has really cut off ties with the terrorist organisation and the environment and activities of unlawful associations and groups that surround these, and that he has collaborated with the authorities.

3. The suspension of the sentence shall have a duration of between five to ten years. The suspension period and probation shall be counted from the date that the convict is released. The rules stipulated in Paragraph 2 of Section 1 of Article 80 and in Articles 83, 86, 87 and 91 shall apply.

In view of the possible modification of the circumstances taken into consideration, the Judge or Court of Law may amend the decision adopted previously pursuant to Article 83, and impose new prohibitions, obligations or measures, modify those that have already been established or lift them.

Likewise, the Parole Board Judge shall revoke the suspension of the rest of the sentence and the probation granted in the event of a change of the circumstances leading to the suspension that makes it impossible to maintain the assessment of lack of risk on which the decision adopted was based.

4. Having served the part of the sentence referred to in Sub-Paragraph a) of Section 1 of this Article or, where applicable, in Article 78 bis, the Court of Law must verify, at least every two years, fulfilment of the rest of the probation conditions. The Court of Law shall also resolve probation requests by the convict, but it may establish a term of up to one year during which, once a request has been refused, no further requests shall be processed.
