SD. The judge of Special Instruction of the Third Courtroom of the Penal Chamber of the Appeals Court of the National District, Ysis Muñiz, reserved the decision for 6 August, a 9:00 a.m. in the case of the request by Judge Margarita Olivo, that the definitive dismissal of her complaint against the District Attorney Yeni Berenice Reynoso be revoked.
The magistrate took the decision after three hours and fifteen minutes of debates between the parties in a closed door hearing, where Reynoso appeared and Cristo was absent because she was out of the country.
The lawyers of the magistrate Carlos Balcacer and Pedro German asked the judge to accept the petition and order the expansion of the pursuit of the investigation that supports the complaint and the civil suit, given the fact that there exist sufficient merits to continue the investigation that the trial demands.
Balcacer said that an insult to a judge is not protected by immunity, such as the Justice Department insists, in his judgment.
The District Attorney, who was assisted by her attorneys Jose Lorenzo Fermin, Laura Acosta Lora and Nassef Perdomo, said that she was not repentant for her actions.
"And if by complying with the laws I am here, I am here with a lot of honor and dignity."
She said she felt that this was an issue of law that is tied "to something that is a legitimate complaint, which is that corruption be punished."
The general prosecutor of the Court of Appeals, Bienvenido Ventura Cuevas, asked the court to ratify the dismissal of the case.
The hearing began at 2:30 p.m. and ended at 5:45 p.m.
The parties appeared confident that they would be favored by the judge's decision.
