Santo Domingo.- After referring this afternoon to “Operation Squid”, launched since Saturday night by the Public Ministry, the vice president of the party People’s Force (FP), Radhamés Jiménez Peña, said that this organization always adheres to the constitutional principles and precepts, which establish the monitoring of due process of law and the recognition of the universal principle of presumption of innocence.

When questioned by journalists about the position of the FP regarding the so-called “Operation Squid”, Jiménez Peña pointed out that it is not only in this process that is underway, but in any judicial process that this organization appeals to due process.
