During the last hearing in which she participated, Yenifer Paredes was willing to collaborate with the investigations: “From the beginning, I have been collaborating with justice: I have gone to the Prosecutor’s Office, to Congress, and I have always been willing to give my statements. . What’s more, I’ve been here for 10 days and I’ve only been summoned four times to make the respective statements.
