The period of incidents of the alternate preliminary hearing of the Odebrecht case closed after 1 in the afternoon of this Monday, September 12.
The incidents presented by the defenders were denied by the
after the Public Ministry indicated that they had already been processed and validated in the investigation stage of the case.
Earlier at the beginning of the hearing after 9 in the morning, the defense of former President Ricardo Marinelli Berrocal, Lawyer Shirley Castañeda and the jurist Alejandro Pérez, legal representative of Ricardo Alberto and Luis Alberto Martinelli Linares, requested the suspension of the hearing because An appeal filed against Judge Marquínez left her without jurisdiction in the case, in accordance with Article 770.
However, the judge cited article 2281 of the judicial code and said that the scheduling of the hearing constitutes an exception to the provisions of article 770 of the judicial code, so there are no merits or legal grounds to suspend the hearing.
At the hearing, the Martinelli Linares brothers waived the right to attend this hearing virtually, so Judge Marquínez allowed them to leave the web connection to continue with the development of the case.
The judge decreed a recess at 1 pm to return to the room of the liquidation court for criminal cases at 2:30 in the afternoon to continue with the hearing.
