• Amnestied — Having benefited from an amnesty; a person officially cleared of punishment or criminal liability following a collective act of clemency issued by the supreme legislative body. As a participle or adjective, it describes an offense, a conviction, or a historical guilt that has been definitively erased from the criminal record, structurally removing all its punitive effects.
• Amnestiable — Fulfilling the legal conditions to benefit from an amnesty; a person, act, or sentence that falls within the criteria established by a clemency law adopted by Parliament. In a procedural context, it describes criminal elements susceptible to being annulled or erased through the direct effect of amnesty.
• Granting of amnesty — The act of amnestying and its result; the institutional, legislative, and administrative process through which the state officially grants clemency to offenders, voiding criminal liability for specific offenses. Unlike a pardon, amnistiare has a broader collective impact, removing even the historical incrimination of the committed act.

This structural status implies an active and unilateral manifestation of assistance provided to justice before the ex officio notification of investigation organs.
