Ricardo Alberto Martinelli Linares’ lawyer was unable to exclude him from the hearing for alleged money laundering through the Blue Apple company to be held on August 16.
This is due to the fact that the First Superior Court of Justice, in a ruling issued on July 28, did not admit a protection of constitutional guarantees against a decision of the Third Court Liquidator of Criminal Cases that rejected an incident of annulment against the investigation order. by Martinelli Linares.
The ruling, which bears the signature of Judge Miguel Ángel Espino, details that on this occasion the appeal is not admissible because it was filed more than two years after the inquiry order issued by the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office.
In the opinion of the magistrates of the First Court of Justice, the defense of Martinelli Linares should have filed the appeal in a timely manner and not let so much time elapse.
However, the ruling highlights that this type of appeal may be presented again in the oral trial phase, in order to obtain a final ruling by the judge.
