Judge Nayko Coronado confirmed that Marcelo Bahía Odebrecht and Jorge Henrique Simoes Barata, former executives of the Brazilian construction company Odebrecht, will be questioned in a trial against former president Ollanta Humala on Monday, November 7 and Tuesday, November 8, respectively.
According to the also president of the collegiate, the Prosecutor’s Office has not requested to reschedule the hearings of Odebrecht and Barata, so a new date will not be determined because the judges work only based on official communications.
According to a statement released by the Public Ministry last September, both must give their testimony in the case against the former president for the alleged financing of the Nationalist Party. This case is in charge of the prosecutor Germán Juárez Atoche, of the Lava Jato Special Team.
The trial against Humala Tasso was resumed in February of this year. Prosecutor Rafael Vela, coordinator of the special team, requested 20 years in prison for the former president. It should be noted that former first lady Nadine Heredia is also being investigated for allegedly receiving money from the late former Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez to finance her husband’s presidential campaign in 2006.
