Listin Diario political analyst Orlando Gil writes today that the appeals court decision to release those sentenced for corruption in the Plan Renove transportation case during the Mejia administration sets new legal precedents for government officers. He writes that the recent comments by PRD vice president Pedro Franco Badia that the president of the Supreme Court of Justice Jorge Subero Isa could be removed from his post for his comments critical of the decision leads him to speculate that if there are pressures at that level of the justice system, what would there have been upon the appeals courts judges. “The truth is that the case continues to be unusual because the court not only judged them and released them, but also went beyond its jurisdiction and created new doctrine: that perversion of the course of justice should be removed from the codes and the laws, because it cannot be applied. Another notion goes for government officers and another scope for their work: nobody sins or commits a crime when in government,” he writes.
