In the case of red devil compensation, there are former officials and individuals who total 543 accused subjects.
In its oral trial phase at the Roberto Durán Gymnasium, since March 14, former officials and individuals accused of the alleged crime against the Public Administration, to the detriment of the Panamanian State, appear in the case of red devil quotas.
The lawyer Alvin Weeden, defender of eight women, employees of a financial company whose owner is Salomón Homsany, one of the defendants in the case of illegal compensation of ‘red devils’ bus quotas, explained in the trial that his clients were deceived in a way vile.
‘He put buses in his name [de las ocho mujeres]asked them for authorization to do so, without telling them that the underlying purpose was to defraud the State, as in fact Mr. Homsany who is accused here did,’ Weeden alleged.
The attorney added in his statement and arguments that the only thing that Mr. ‘Homsany has done for those eight humble women is to put bail on them without their requesting it and refuse to acknowledge his responsibility because he was already at this hearing and should have accepted that he had embarked my clients on this painful crime for the State, he did not do it and he will not do it and if he is called to trial I guarantee you, Madam Judge, that he will not go to jail for a single day, because he has the patrimony necessary to consign the million that is imputed to him’.
scam procedure
Weeden stated in the courtroom that Homsany’s criminal traffic began when he summoned all the humble employees of the financial company and asked them at various times, as a collaboration with the company, to name buses after them without explaining the purpose of said necessity, but since the normal line of business of the company is to finance buses, this activity seemed to fit within the typical activities of the finance company.
Mr. Homsany’s next step, according to the lawyer, was to generally place a mortgage of $75,000 or a similar amount in each case.
‘He gave a mortgage of 75,000 dollars to one of my clients who earned 250 dollars a month because she provided cleaning and office services, if I put her with the typical values of a financial company, that amount for five years, she would have to pay a monthly payment of two thousand 19 dollars,’ he stressed.
Homsany is charged in another case of aggravated fraud to the detriment of the Hebrew community for 50 million dollars, a hearing that is scheduled for next year.
inquiry
The investigative statements of all the employees coincided with the behavior of Mr. Homsany.
