“Allow me to prove my innocence but in freedom, as required by law,” were the words of former attorney Jean Alain Rodríguez, accused in the Medusa case, when his turn expired during the hearing on the request to cease the measure of coercion.
The defendant expressed that he has no intention of leaving the country in case the measure of coercion is changed, assuring that he had the “opportunity to flee the country and did not do so, preferring to appear before the authorities.”
Jean Alain questioned before the Third Investigating Court of the National District about his right to an objective investigation as established by law.
defense proposal
The defense of Jean Alain Rodríguez proposed before the court the change of preventive detention as a measure of coercion for preventing him from leaving the country and the payment of an economic guarantee in the form of a contract for his defendant.
The legal representatives of the ex-prosecutor alleged that on January 8, the 18-month pretrial detention term imposed by Judge Kenya Romero on July 8, 2021 expired.
