In this regard, the prosecutor Jose Domingo Perez told La Republica that the basis for the magistrate’s vote “is inconsistent, and has no logic with the matter that is resolved in that sentence.”

He added: “The consequences of what he says are the criminalization of the Prosecutor’s Office for instigation to suicide.

For these links sardon now has the quality of witness in the case against Keiko. “The opportunity for him to be examined will be when the accusation control stage is over and the oral trial against Keiko is over. Since Judge Víctor Zúñiga has made a fairly continuous program of hearings, we expect the trial to start in the second half of 2022″, concluded the prosecutor Pérez.
