The network – which was led by the now ex-judge Rafael Alcón and who freed the serial femicide Richard Choque – chose its potential clients with the help of an operator who carried out the errands from the San Pedro prison. The consortium selected inmates sentenced to 30 years in prison for serious crimes, such as femicides and murders.
Who or who are the contacts that operated for the network within the prison is still being investigated, but it is known that there was one or more people who were in charge of providing the data of the sentenced inmates to the consortium.
“We are sure of these links because someone provided them with the details of all those sentenced, since that report is not public and that must be kept by a person in charge of registering all the documents and perhaps he was the one who provided them with that data (because that is the only way understand why) the lawyers entered the prison looking for just the one who has a 30-year sentence or the one who is in jail for transporting controlled substances, ”an authority investigating the case told Page Seven and preferred to keep his name confidential. .
According to the source, “those sentenced to 30 years in prison were identified in prison, then the lawyers entered the prison and inside the prison (one person) handed them the list of all those who had been detained for 30 years. judgment”. “There they or the lawyers’ assistants took advantage -because they already knew the movements of how they operated- to offer (inmates) the exit (from the penitentiary) with medical certificates and with some execution court,” he said.
The authority assured that they reached that conclusion after “receiving and reviewing the statements” of several people throughout this week.
In the first days of February, two lawyers, Marlene P. and Carmen SM, were preventively detained for processing the 18-month house arrest of the femicide Richard Choque, sentenced to 30 years in prison for raping and killing a young woman in 2013.

Due to the release of Choque, justice ordered the preventive detention of the now former first judge of Criminal Enforcement in La Paz Rafael Alcón, the former secretary of the Criminal Enforcement Court Raúl G., two social workers from the court (Yesica Ch. and Mary C. Ch .), and physician Freddy T.
According to the investigation, there are suspicions of some involved.
Yesterday, Brayan B., an official from the La Paz Penitentiary Regime, went to give his statement. “He was auxiliary 2 and 3. He was in charge of taking the documentation to the prisons and to external institutions.”
According to the source, in his informative statement “he said he did not have much knowledge, but he drew attention because he already knew attorney P., since before she was an assistant to Judge Alcón and that is how they met, because he was also an assistant. of a lawyer. They met in court.”
He added that being assistants, both “already knew the movement inside the courts.”
The Government Minister, Eduardo del Castillo, indicated that they are investigating whether there is any participation in these crimes by former officials of the Penitentiary Regime, dependent on the Ministry of Government. “We still do not have sufficient evidence to assert this position.”
According to the source accessed by Página Siete, this consortium not only referred the cases to Judge Alcón, but also worked with other execution courts.
He indicated that within the Alcón court another five processes with possible irregularities were found.
“Now we would have to open another five cases, because even though it is the same judge and the same lawyers, in some cases the guarantors and forensic doctors vary, although the modus operandi is the same: through medical certificates that established illnesses, They asked for house arrest,” the source explained.
He asked the authorities of the Judicial Council to intervene in said courts to identify more cases.
