Anti-Student prosecutor’s office active in Caracas court

Justice system sources said the public ministry had set up a state prosecutor’s office at the Palais de Justice in Caracas to investigate alleged irregularities by judges.

One of the facts to be investigated is that on 26 August Alirio Domingo Allion, the substitute judge of the 38th Control Court of Caracas, granted freedom to five prisoners.

The accused are being held at the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Bolivarian National Police in Laaguara, the city of Libertadores, Caracas.

In this sense, the Prosecutor’s Office conducted an investigation into the police officers on duty on 26 August, when they carried out the release of the five accused. Apparently, the men in uniform bypassed the agreement and released the five without the proper release ticket, which was issued by the court and signed by the Criminal Justice Circuit in Caracas, the source explained. “He was only released with an official letter,” the informant explained. “The men in uniform realised that they should not be given freedom to work alone,” the source said.

The five freedoms were granted the same day the Department of Public Affairs asked to prosecute the men.

The case took a turn for the worse when police called lawyers who were no longer on the Criminal Justice Circuit and asked them to release five defendants on trial for felony robbery. Yes.

After learning of the situation, officials from the Criminal Justice Circuit in Caracas reported the incident to the Directorate General of Military Counterintelligence (DGCIM).

Judge Garrido

In another fact, the Judicial Committee of the Supreme Court removed, by resolution, Judge Luisa René Garrido, who was in charge of two courts: 52 degrees in control and 3 degrees in Caracas counter-terrorism.

The Judicial Council’s decision came on August 15, five days after Garrido agreed to appoint an interim committee at ICM Proyectos 2021, an affiliate of state-owned Petropere.

Garrido agreed to the ad hoc meeting at the request of the plaintiff, who is reported to be a participant in Carlos Vecchio, Venezuela’s self-styled “ambassador” to the United States.

After Garrido signed the decision, he took five days off. Judge Jose Marquez, who temporarily transferred him to the Third Anti-Terrorism Court, canceled the interim meeting at the request of ICM’s corporate partners, a decision they felt weakened the company. Meanwhile, the prosecutor’s office asked the case file to continue its investigation.
