For the second time when facing a Catalan independence crisis-related issue, discrepancies arose, with three judges voting against the decision taken by the majority of the magistrates. In any case, Spain’s Constitutional Court believes that the Supreme Court’s decision to provisionally jail Catalonia’s former vice president was lawful.

Junqueras’ appeal was presented in January 2018, with the judges taking their final decision 22 months later, when he is no longer in provisional detention, but serving his conviction. His defense can now take the case to the European Court of Human Rights, in Strasbourg, after having completed the whole path in Spain’s judicial system.
