Judgement against Mulino represent a double jeopardy

A motion for dismissal was filed in court , on Wednesday January 6 , in favor of the former Minister of Security Jose Raul Mulino, for alleged violation of the principle of res judicata.

The incident was filed by the defense of Mulino before the Court Fifteenth Circuit Criminal , considering that fiscal third -corruption , Zuleika Moore, may have violated the Constitution and laws of this country , to make a double jeopardy , to admit research and then bring charges and order the preventive detention against the former official .

The reason is the existence of a failure of the full Supreme Court of Justice of 22 October 2013 , which decreed the dismissal to the case of Jose Raul Mulino, an investigation conducted by the Attorney General through the same process

Remember that research is given for crimes against public administration for the purchase of radar, after a complaint filed by Oreste Del Rio Sandoval against the then Security Minister Jose Raul Mulino .

Now, in a second investigation for the same offense and in which it is mentioned to the same person , the prosecutor Moore issued a severe injunction remand .

Since then , Mulino has arrested two and a half months .

His son of the same name, said that this demonstrates the excessive and arbitrary manner as the prosecution is acting in the case of his father.

The incident brought by Mulino's lawyers are based on apparent violations of the Constitution of Panama and the Judicial Code, in addition to the rules that laid down in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights .

The Constitution, in Article 32 states says that no one shall be tried more than once for the same criminal case.

Meanwhile, the Judicial Code, Article 1945 thereof, states that no one can be criminally prosecuted more than once for the same act .

Article 1950, meanwhile, indicates that actions violating those rules are void .

Consulting

The existence of a note of December 28 last year in which fiscal Zuleyka Moore asks the hiring of private company to carry out the expertise of radar, shows that Jose Raul Mulino ordered the arrest regardless if these teams do not really work.

Ramses Barrera, one of the Mulino's lawyers, said that this shows that his client has been ordered to arrest without having a firm element of his guilt.

Barrera was superior anti-corruption prosecutor and until recently held the position of Secretary General Prosecutor 's Office.

Declaraciones

Los testimonios de los agentes del Senan dan cuenta de que no son expertos en radares y, por tanto, no pudieron dar fe de que los equipos no están funcionando.
