“We are requesting an emergency meeting with the Attorney General’s Office, in order to discuss the issue of the special team. The National Police is commissioned by the Ministry of the Interior to be given all the facilities, but they must understand that procedures, functions, responsibilities have to be established for this purpose. It cannot be done overnight, there must be a reciprocal respect”, he declared for the press.
Next, Huerta Olivos considered that it was not “I laughed” having formed this PNP team, without first having defined the specific tasks that they were going to carry out together with the Public Ministry.
“Before the constitution of this special team, the functions that were going to be assigned to it should have been foreseen. It is not that I create a special team and then decide what they are going to do. It is not about that, but this conformation is not serious. Four senior officers of the National Police have been appointed by their own names, in order to collaborate with the work of the Prosecutor’s Office”, he stated.
Likewise, the head of the Ministry of the Interior denied that the PNP had made an alleged adjustment to the lobbyist karelim lopez and the businessman Zamir Villaverde.
“(Has there been an adjustment?) There has been no such situation, already yesterday in that presentation it has been indicated, it was even clarified with the Prosecutor’s Office and at the police station. The work of the National Police is not only to assign, but also to verify that the services are carried out, that is why there is an assigned control staff, that is, there is a group of police officers and I have to verify that it is being carried out. There is no adjustment“, said.
