A charter flight, chartered for this purpose, and in which a group of United States agents of the US Marshals Services will travel, will be in charge of transferring this Monday, November 15, from Guatemala to the Eastern District Court of New York to Luis Enrique Martinelli Linares, son of former President Ricardo Martinelli.
Nilda Rosario, a journalist in New York highlighted that with this extradition the eyes are on Latin America, noting that in the case of the Martinelli Linares brothers, both are facing a federal trial, which means that it is the highest judicial system in the United States.
“The political judicial system of the United States is very divided and gives a lot of power to the states, to the peoples, but there is a Federal Law. If you commit a crime in your town, you will be judged by the judge of your town, if you commit a state crime, then you will be judged by a state judge, ”he explained.
He specified that the FBI must have been involved in this investigation, there is a federal prosecutor who will present the charges, “they will arrive, they will be detained and they will be tried in the federal system of the United States.”
Rosario explained that, in general, those apprehended always arrive at the John F. Kennedy airport in New York. “That airport is between 15 to 20 miles from where the District Attorney’s Office is located,” he said.
It is still unknown if Luis Enrique will be charged immediately upon his arrival in the United States, the truth is that most of the “federal prisoners” are tried at the aforementioned prosecutor’s office, located in Brooklyn Bridge.
Nor has it been revealed to which prison Luis Enrique or his brother will be transferred (when his extradition is set), however, the journalist mentioned: “Most of the federal prisoners who are tried in that court will be in Manhattan, which is the Correctional Center. Metropolitan, it is in the lower part of Manhattan, near the Brooklyn Bridge. If they remain in that jail in Manhattan, in the Correctional Center, it is a very famous jail for being very tough, where very high profile people have been, not only was Chapo Guzmán, there was Madoff, another very notorious case of this jail it was the FIFA case; and if you are maximum security, they pass you to another prison known as 10 Sur, it is compared to hell, where the lights are on 24 hours a day, the prisoners cannot talk to each other ”.
It should be noted that it will be determined which jail the Martinelli Linares brothers will go to, depending on the degree of the charges that are presented to them, if they can escape, “this case is sealed because there is a lot of information that is not known. The prosecution is being very careful. “
“I am almost certain that they will be in the Metropolitan Correctional Center because of the proximity and how easy it is to move from Brooklyn Bridge to Manhattan,” said the communicator.
According to Rosario, the relationship with Odebrecht has the Latin American countries dotted. “Not only is this the case of the Martinelli brothers and the children of a former president, but eyes are on Panama in everything that has happened in recent years when there has been talk of tax havens and the commercial political relationship that always The United States has had with Panama ”, he concluded.
