The Superior Administrative Court (TSA) declared on Tuesday, 15 February 2022 that it does not have jurisdiction to hear a writ of amparo filed by former Attorney General Jean Alain Rodriguez. Rodríguez seeks a judicial mandate obliging the renaming of the Medusa Operation by public prosecution. He also demands media in general remove any mention of his name linked to the named Medusa case.
The TSA referred the case to the Fourth Court of Instruction of the National District.
After the hearing, Deputy Prosecutor Yeni Berenice Reynoso deplored the request made by Rodriguez, and said that Rodriguez “refuses to accept the right of the press to inform.”
National District Judge Kenya Romero had ordered 18 months of preventive detention against Rodríguez in July 2021 and declared the case complex, as requested by the Public Prosecutor’s Office.
State prosecutors accuse Rodríguez of being the head of a network that allegedly committed the crimes of the coalition of officials, prevarication, criminal association, fraud against the state, embezzlement, technological crimes and sabotage. Those charged in the Operation Medusa are also accused of committing acts of illicit access, damage or alteration of data, as well as bribery, money laundering and aggravated circumstances of money laundering.
