The Criminal Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice dismissed an appeal filed by Ally Hye Abdool Hefeez that sought to annul the 30-year sentence imposed on that person for allegedly planning the murder of the general manager of PDVSA Gas Comunal Guárico, Leomar José Gil Celis (37). .
The public official was assassinated on September 2, 2019 in front of his residence located in the El Delirio sector, El Campito alley, San Juan de los Morros (Guárico).
César Andrés Martínez Rodríguez (El Macizo), a Poliguárico official, participated in the crime, who shot Gil Celis. The uniformed man was hired by Ally Hye (El Guyanese), one of the owners of the private company Morro Gas.
Ally Hye allegedly planned the murder because Gil Celis had prevented her from selling gas after Morro Gas was found to be overselling. This subject was captured on September 13, 2019 and charged with the crimes of assassination under the criminal participation of intellectual author and criminal association.
The trial against Ally Hye took place between October 1, 2021 and March 17, 2022. At the end, the Guárico Trial Court 1, located in San Juan de los Morros, found Ally Hye guilty. and consequently sentenced him to 30 years in prison.
That decision was appealed by Oscar David Mata Medina, Ally Hye’s private lawyer, but the Court of Appeals upheld the conviction. Faced with this situation, she went to the Criminal Chamber of the TSJ where she filed a complaint in the form of an appeal.
In this sense, it points out that the judgment of the Court of Appeals issued a sentence without giving reasons for its content, a situation that is revealed “since the trial judge does not mention in his decision how he reached the conclusion that the defendant Ally Hye allegedly planned and ordered the death of Leomar Gil, it does not establish how he came to the conviction regarding intellectual authorship.” Based on this, they requested the holding of a new trial.
The magistrates analyzed the approach and detected that the private attorney was seeking a pronouncement from the TSJ in relation to the sentence issued by the Guárico Trial Court 1. And for this reason they reminded him that the appeal of cassation is a means to challenge the decisions of the courts of appeals and not of the courts that are below those instances.
“In effect, on the basis of his complaint, the appellant does not explain the way in which the Court of Appeals of Guárico violated the legal precepts invoked,” the magistrates complained when dismissing the appeal of Ally Hye, whose sentence of maximum penalty was unharmed
