Last March, she was suspended from her duties in Congress while the investigations by the Attorney General’s Office are ongoing. The Judiciary announced that next Tuesday, March 30, Congresswoman María Cordero will be given a hearing with restrictions. This is part of the investigations into this case.
On March 14, Congress decided to rectify its protection of Congresswoman María Cordero Jon Tay and approved not only the formation of a criminal case against her, which will allow the Public Prosecutor’s Office to continue its investigations against her, but also to suspend her investigation while the process lasts.
This, as recommended in the final report of the Subcommittee on Constitutional Accusations.
On that occasion, fifty-four legislators supported the proposal against Cordero Jon Tay who, until that date, had been serving a 120-day suspension from the exercise of his functions since December 2023, which was recommended by the Parliament’s Ethics Commission.
The new vote was carried out under the auspices of reconsideration requests made by Susel Paredes and Nelcy Heidinger.
The case of the parliamentarian, who entered Congress as part of the Fuerza Popular list, was brought to light in April of last year. This was after one of her employees denounced salary cuts.
