El art. 782 de nuestra vigente Ley de Enjuiciamiento Criminal disponde que ante la doble petición de sobreseimiento del Ministerio Público y la acusación particular, el Juez debe dictar el respectivo auto de sobreseimiento. Tras examinar los casos precedentes (caso Botín, Atutxa e Ibarretxe) y fijar la doctrina del Tribunal Supremo aplicable, concluiremos valorando como indebida la apertura de juicio oral contra doña Cristina de Borbón en el caso Nóos, puesto que, existiendo la mentada doble petición de sobreseimiento, se abrió juicio oral a las solas instancias de la acusación popular. La razón de tal controversia jurídica estriba en el uso indistinto de cierta terminología legal y en la falta de precisión de nuestra vigente y decimonónica Ley Procesal, sumiendo al foro en una inseguridad jurídica que, recordemos, está proscrita por el art. 9.3 de nuestra Constitución, deviniendo urgente una regulación moderna, clara y concisa que finalice con leoninas penas de banquillo e indeseados abusos de derecho.
Article 782 of our current Criminal Procedure Law provides that upon the double petition of acquittal submitted by the Public and private prosecutions, the judge must hand the corresponding acquittal ruling. After examining the precedents (such as Botín, Atutxa and Ibarretxe cases) and set the doctrinal criteria established by the Supreme Court, it can be concluded that it was undue to start this trial against Mrs. Cristina de Borbón, because facing the two overlapping acquittal requests were submitted and the trial was initiated only on the basis of the private prosecution. The confusing use of certain legal terminology and the lack of precision of our current Criminal Procedure Law have led the system to a juridical uncertainty that, as it is common knowledge, is outlawed by the article 9.3 of our Constitution. This makes clear that our legal system needs an updated legal framework which is at the same time clear and straight-forward so the bench penalties and the abuses of rights are finished with.
