The defense lawyers of businessman Ángel Rondón, accused in the Odebrecht bribes case, will request a revision in the preventive custody terms that were upheld at a recent appeal at the Supreme Court of Justice.
According to lawyer, Luis Manuel Minier, along with other lawyers Juan Antonio Delgado, Pedro Balbuena and Manuel Fermín who are working on Rondón’s defense, their argument will be based on the reasons given by judge Miriam Germán Brito during the hearing when the court ruled that Rondon would stay in preventive custody.
Minier said that once he received the ruling in writing, he then had 48 hours to respond. He once again proclaimed his client’s innocence. Rondón argues the funds received were in payment of services rendered to help Odebrecht secure the construction contracts in the Dominican Republic.
