He again rejected the process against him and launch against the judges. The former president Pedro Castillo Terrones has taken advantage of the permeability of the director of debates to distort the moment of accreditation to offer a pronouncement at the beginning of each audience of the oral trial that is followed by the crime of rebellion.
This time, the accused of breaking the democratic order in December 2022 insisted that so far he has not been able to demonstrate the crimes attributed to him.
“Every day, at the opening of this trial, the president of this Chamber reads the accusations against me: crime of rebellion, abuse of serious authority, disturbance to public tranquility. Sixty and so many sessions are not able to prove the crimes,” Castillo said with the venia of the Secretary of Debates.
“This Chamber has brought to consideration another imputation that was rejected by the Public Prosecutor’s Office. When demonstrating otherwise, what other crime is going to be imposed.
Throughout the hearings, Castillo did not want to accredit himself and used that moment to give political proclamations or face the magistrates. He was once turned off the microphone and warned him of his bad behavior by remembering article 364 of the Criminal Code.
According to this regulation, the Criminal Chamber could impose a sanction, and each judge has “discretionary power” to resolve unregulated issues that arise in the trial, “whose resolution is necessary for its effective and due continuation.”
The coup has lacked respect for the judges of the Chamber several times, describing the process against him as “mamarracho”, and pointing out “being kidnapped.” Despite his attacks on the magistrates, he is allowed to denatural the accreditation process to launch their criticisms.
