A pardon may only be applied for in court, during the convicted person’s lifetime, by the latter or, if he or she is banned, by his or her legal representative; in the event of death and if the legal conditions are met, the application may be followed by his or her spouse or by his or her ascendants or descendants and even made by them, but only within a period of one year from the date of death.
The application must relate to all convictions handed down that have not been erased by a previous pardon.
