Dina Boluartewill continue to face a preliminary investigation in theNational Prosecutor’s Officefor the alleged crimes of illicit enrichment and failure to record statements in a document to the detriment of the Statewithin the framework of Rolex case. This after Supreme Judge Juan Carlos Checkley declared “consented” the resolution in which he declared the request for time control presented by the dignitary’s defense to be unfounded.
This resolution was given last September 24. The next day, the 25th, the decision was notified to both the Prosecutor’s Office and the defense of the head of state, represented by the lawyer Juan Carlos Portugal.
The lawyer could file an appeal within three days, in accordance with article 414 of the Criminal Procedure Code, however, he did not do so. This was interpreted by the judge as agreement with the initial resolution.
“Having said period elapsed without the party having filed any challenging appeal, with the formalities established in the procedural rule, its willingness not to challenge is evidenced. That is, with said procedural conduct it denotes its agreement with what was resolved; therefore , the resolution in question must be declared approved,” the document reads.
“The deadline established by law has expired definitively and irrevocably, without any challenging appeal having been filed, thus consolidating the finality of the resolution,” he adds.
