The resolution states that the rule —which prevents high-ranking public officials from being subject to restrictive measures of law without authorization from the Subcommittee on Constitutional Accusations— was repealed by opposition to the Criminal Code.

Therefore, it declares the appeal made by the former legislator unfounded and confirms the orders issued in all its extremes by the Supreme Court of Preparatory Investigation.
