The president of the Judicial Branch, Supreme Court of Justice chief judge Mariano German Mejia, said that an investigation into the 19 employees who have been suspended from the offices of the Real Estate Jurisdiction on accusations of issuing fraudulent real estate titles is underway.
Magistrate Germán Mejia said he did not want to go into the details. Extra-officially, it has been learned that the cause for the suspension of the employees was document forgery, trafficking in influence, and other crimes.
In a press release sent by the Supreme Court of Justice, the authorities said that they had charged the Administrative Disciplinary Commission to investigate the case. The Council of the Judicial Power said in the press release: “The commission will act without contemplation against those that cross the border of the Ethical Behavior Code as well as the Law of the Judicial Career….”
The case file was sent to the Justice Department in order to expand the investigations regarding the possible ramifications of the activity that is likely to involve persons outside of the Judicial Branch.
