A group of at least 285 illegal migrants under pre-trial detention at Spanish inmate centers applied to become beneficiaries of the socialist government’s mass amnesty plan, a report states.
Nearly 1.2 million illegal migrants in Spain submitted applications over the past months to receive “legal” residence status, work permits, and other benefits that come with the Spanish government’s widely-reviled mass amnesty plan. The staggering amount of filed applications far eclipses the “half a million” estimates initially claimed by Spanish authorities.

The Spanish outlet Ok Diario reports that, among the nearly 1.2 million applicants, a group of 285 migrants under pre-trial detention applied to receive amnesty. The Spanish General Secretariat for Penitentiary Institutions reportedly did not specify to Ok Diario how many of the 285 prisoners are in jail on serious crimes when inquired. Per the outlet, the Penitentiary authorities responded, “being held in pre-trial detention does not imply guilt.”

Ok Diario stated that there have been several instances of migrants who requested to become amnesty beneficiaries despite having committed felonies.
Last week, Ok Diario reported the case of a 33 year-old Algerian man who detained on June 6 after he sexually assaulted and seriously injured a 19 year-old Spanish young woman, leaving her with a broken nose and several facial bruises, among other lesions. He was reportedly released shortly after testifying before a court, awaiting a new hearing.

Similarly, Ok Diario reported in May that migrants in pre-trial detention — such as Moroccan nationals accused of jihadism and Bolivians accused of drug trafficking — had requested information on how to become beneficiaries of the government’s amnesty.
