Deputy Attorney General Inocencio Amador Espinosa told the press the court has reverted the previous decision of Supreme Court judge Napoleon Estevez Lavandier, after an appeal by the prosecution in the case. Judge Estevez Lavandier was voted to preside the Constitutional Court and was replaced by judge Second Criminal Chamber of the SCJ, Francisco Antonio Jerez Mena, as reported in Diario Libre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rosa Amalia Pilarte is deputy until the new deputies are inaugurated in the 20 August 2024 session of the Chamber of Deputies. This is why her case is being heard by a Supreme Court of Justice judge and not ordinary court. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The defense of congresswoman Rosa Amalia Pilarte has presented her husband Micky L\u00f3pez as one of the four witnesses in her favor in the substantive trial that is being followed for the accusation of money laundering from drug trafficking. L\u00f3pez said he used his wife\u2019s bank accounts to evade paying taxes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>State prosecutors accuse the congresswoman of moving more than RD$4 billion in profits from drug trafficking in the financial system. Her husband and their children, Jos\u00e9 Miguel and Miguel Arturo L\u00f3pez Pilarte, are due to face trial in La Vega in the coming months. They are also accused of drug trafficking and money laundering. The family is accused of laundering more than RD$8 billion from illicit activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read more in Spanish:<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.diariolibre.com\/actualidad\/justicia\/2024\/05\/21\/scj-admite-como-prueba-contra-pilarte-111700-pastillas-extasis\/2729824\">Diario Libre <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>22 May 2024<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Supreme Court of Justice judge hearing the case for money laundering and other crimes against PRM deputy Rosa Amalia Pilarte admitted that the confiscated 111,700 ecstasy pills, the largest of the drug seized in the DR, serve as evidence in the case.
