The Constitutional Tribunal has annulled the court ruling 094-2015 issued by the Penal Court on 7 July 2015 that had ordered the return of the jet to Venezuelan businessman Jose Luis Santoro and other executives of the collapsed Banco Peravia. The original court order instructed state prosecutors to return the Cessna, Model 550, Registration N61MA to Jose Bacile, its alleged owner.
The court ruling was issued after the state prosecutors included the jet in the case against Banco Peravia executives Santoro Castellano, Gabriel Arturo Jimenez Aray, Daniel Alejandro Morales Santoro, Luis Manuel Melo Pena, Nelson Serret Sugranez, Carlos Alberto Serret, Jorge Serret, Francisco Eduardo Rivas, Cristina Martidona de Santoro, Evelyn Serret de Santana and Yesenia Serret Aponte.
