The criminal lawyer, Romy Chang, considered that the Public Ministry did not think with a “cool head” in reference to the Cocktails casewhose oral trial was annulled by the Judiciary.
“This was already a chronicle of an announced death because it was a process that had begun with 19 corrections of the position by the Judiciary. Which is something inexplicable. I believe that the Public Ministry sinned by not thinking with a cold head but rather rather, he let himself get too passionate. And that has led to everything being declared null and void and having to work again,” the lawyer told Perú21.
The lawyer questioned whether prosecutor José Domingo Pérez remains at the head of this case, due to the recent judicial setback, in addition to remembering that the prosecutor himself denounced the obstruction of his investigation, positioning himself as aggrieved.
“I believe that the most important thing is that the Public Ministry, as an institution, as the head, the prosecutor of the Nation is going to have to think about whether to keep prosecutor José Domingo Pérez in the position or rather change him regarding this case. We must not forget that he is supposedly aggrieved here because he says that he was sought to hinder the investigation by even the defense. That makes me see that he would not be the best person to raise this position again,” he said.
As is known, the Third Collegiate Criminal Court of the National Superior Court annulled the oral trial against the leader of Fuerza Popular, Keiko Fujimori, and all those prosecuted for the alleged illicit contributions to her 2011 and 2016 electoral campaigns and ordered that it be remitted everything carried out at the preparatory investigation stage. The decision was made by majority.
According to the judicial decision, the Prosecutor’s Office violated the right to due defense of the defendants and, despite this, these errors were not corrected in the procedural stage, causing a state of defenselessness. The judges decided that the prosecution order had insurmountable flaws that made the continuity of the process unsustainable.
