The investigating judge in the criminal case for the management of DANA rejected the request made by one of the accused of quotes ERC spokesperson in Congress, Gabriel Rufián.
This deputy was one of those who questioned former minister Salomé Pradas during her appearance before the Congressional Commission of Inquiry last Monday, and gave her a piece of rope which, according to him, was holding a young Chinese girl in her arms who ultimately He died in the flood.
The request to the judge to summon Rufián as a witness – and the parents of the deceased minor – was based precisely on this object, on How did you get it and who provided it to you?and to specify the circumstances in which the death of the person who spoke to the advisor occurred.
Parents “shouldn’t” report again
In her resolution, the investigating judge considers that not only is it not necessary for the parents to testify again, but that “they must not.”
” Neither the mother nor the father need to be summoned again, they have already come to court. They also do not need to clarify what happened. The parents witnessed how the torrent of water carried away his daughter. “Her father intervened to save her.”
“Neither his family nor Gabriel Rufián must explain why the said piece of rope was in the possession of the said deputy. They have every right to hand it over to whomever they wish. The piece of rope does not constitute evidence, his body has been found. The circumstances in which he died have already been recounted, not only by his family, but by a witness, who was injured and who, despite all his efforts, I couldn’t save her“, the instructor continued.
“It is not necessary to appeal to the Victims’ Statute to know that it is absolutely harmful to recount in an unjustified manner what happened in court. Nor is it necessary to summon them to ask them what information they received before and during the DANA, because the answer is simple. To save his daughter’s life? None“, specifies the judge in an order issued by the TSJCV.
