It transpired that the prosecutors had a list of requirements (documents) necessary to advance the criminal investigation.
The documents refer to the number of psychosocial tests granted in recent months to prisoners.
The Public Ministry is trying to verify whether these psychosocial tests were signed by professionals authorized to do so. This is because Mezza Montaño was one of the signatories, since she no longer belongs to the payroll of the Ministry for the Penitentiary Service. At the time of his arrest on May 27, Meza Montaño identified himself with a credential from the Administrative Health Fund Foundation of the Ministry for the Interior, Justice and Peace as a Psychologist, a situation that is not accredited in the Federation of Psychologists of Venezuela , according to research.
