The pardons encompass both incarcerated and free individuals. Among those currently detained, 948 prisoners received clemency:
- 33 inmates were granted pardons for the remainder of their prison sentences.

For those not currently in detention, 356 individuals benefited from the royal pardon:
- 62 individuals were pardoned for their imprisonment terms or the remaining portions of their sentences.
- 15 individuals had their imprisonment terms pardoned, although their fines were upheld.
- 260 individuals saw their fines annulled entirely.
