For her part, the supreme prosecutor in charge of the case, Zoraida Ávalos will continue with the preliminary investigation process which was established for 60 days from the filing of the complaint and which will end on September 27, this time, with the statements of the complainant and other witnesses in the case.
In the meantime, Diaz Monago has remained in the deployment of its functions in Parliament, dispatching in the same place where the alleged violation would have occurrednot without first request the dismissal of the worker who denounced it by requiring the end of the confidence of his alleged victim last August 9.
Nevertheless, the worker would not stop working in Parliament. Instead, she would be transferred to a different area, away from the accused congressman, despite the fact that the latter insists that the complainant be removed from the Legislative.
