The Supreme Court of Justice has ordered the corruption case brought against Felix Bautista by the National Convergence of Lawyers (Cona) to be archived. It also ordered that Supreme Court Judge Esther Agelan Casasnova’s decision to bring the case out of the archives should be ignored. The SCJ also agreed to provisionally archive the accusations made by the deputy Attorney General and former director of the Unit for Prosecution of Administrative Corruption (DPCA) Hotoniel Bonilla.
The court, made up of Miriam German Brito, Frank Soto, Alejandro Moscoso Segarra and Hiroito Reyes, agreed to a request from Bautista’s defense team, lawyers Abel Rodriguez del Orbe, Marino Feliz Rodriguez, Juan Antonio Delgado and Ramon Emilio Nunez.
Current DPCA head Laura Guerrero deposited a 100,000-page document with all the evidence of the corruption charges against Felix Bautista at the Supreme Court of Justice, and the judge fixed the trial for December 3. The charges are for 11 crimes including money laundering and making money illegally.
The court revoked an order to reopen the cases issued by judge Victor Jose Castellanos.
The cases had been archived by Hotoniel Bonilla.
