Attorney General Francisco Dominguez Brito has announced that the Public Prosecution Service has launched an investigation into Awilda Reyes Beltre, the National District judge who, according to Supreme Court of Justice president Mariano German, admitted to receiving money to free Ericson de los Santos Solis, a councilor from the municipality of Pedro Brand, who is accused of serious crimes.
Dominguez Brito said that a team of prosecutors has been assigned the investigation.
He said there was an urgent need to hold a high-level meeting involving all sectors of the country to discuss the major reforms that he believes the justice system needs.
Lawyers’ Association president Jose Diego Garcia said that if the investigation found there was a penal responsibility then the Public Prosecution Service should act. He said the lawyers’ union backs the investigation.
