After the court’s decision to reject the incidents raised by the defenses, the Prosecutor’s Office argued its initial arguments in the new oral trial against Fernández Lippman and Cristian León Guimaraes for Illicit Enrichment and Money Laundering
The fiscal agent Victoria Acuña, of the Specialized Unit in Economic Crimes and Anti-Corruption, is the one who represents the Public Ministry in the oral trial against the former secretary of the Jury for the Prosecution of Magistrates (JEM), Raúl Fernández Lippmann.
Within the framework of the same cause the public hearing against Cristian León Guimarães also began.
The oral trial in this case began with the initial arguments and both people are accused of alleged Illicit Enrichment and Money Laundering. It should be remembered that the prosecutor Victoria Acuña filed an appeal for Special appeal to annul the final sentence in which Raúl Fernández Lippman was acquitted of guilt and penalty and Cristian Leon Guimaraes. For this reason, a new trial is held.

It is worth mentioning that according to the tax investigation, Fernández Lippman, former secretary of Óscar González Daher in the Jury for the Prosecution of Magistrates (JEM), would have had an unsustainable income of unknown origin, of more than G. 1,300 million, between the years 2007 and 2017.
The Prosecutor’s Office maintains that in this context, an analysis of income and expenses, showed inconsistencies mainly determined by the purchase of three vehicles of high commercial value, bank deposits, property improvements and high family expenses, reported the Public Ministry.
Meanwhile, Cristian León Guimaraes, in his capacity as JEM official, in charge of Secretary General Fernández Lippman, from 2013 to 2017, served as the latter’s name, for ocultivating sums of money in USD, by carrying out operations in the financial system.

For the Public Ministry, the defendant would have made currency purchases; purchase of real estate and vehicles; financial operations in different private institutions of the square; acquired and sold property individually and with his partner; and all this does not correspond to the legitimate income.
