Permission to remove information from cell phones Jorge Glas It was granted on April 12, but he tried to be prevented by the former vice president and his claim was unsuccessful because the court rejected his request.
On the afternoon of April 29, it was learned that the judge of the National Court of Justice, Julio César Inga Yanza, rejected this request and declared it inadmissible. In his ruling he states that his request comes from an erroneous premise and considers it inappropriate.
The court ruling denies the request to the former vice president’s defense to revoke the judicial authorization to extract information from the electronic devices of Glas.
The devices (a tablet and two cell phones) were confiscated on April 5, in the police raid on the Mexican Embassy in Quito. That night they also captured Glaswho has a sentence for bribery.
April 16 Glas had requested, through his lawyers, to revoke the authorization of the judge of the National Court, Julio Ingawhich allowed information to be obtained.
Inga authorized “the display, recognition, preservation, extraction, analysis, materialization and transcription of the information contained in the devices in the chain of custody” within the investigation of the Manabí Reconstruction case.
The lawyer of Jorge Glas He had said that the chain of custody was “irremediably compromised” because it is not known how many people he passed through before reaching the Flagrancy Unit.
Likewise, it was indicated that the person who signed the police report was not at the Embassy of Mexico in Quito. And that, since the detention of the former vice president is “illegal and arbitrary”, the “evidence obtained is also illegal.” However, the judge’s ruling Ingadeclares the request vanished and inopportune.
Teleamazon reports that now the investigative experts of the Prosecutor’s Office have the green light again to proceed with the extraction of the information. This a few hours before the appearance of Ecuador at the International Court of Justice in The Hague, for the lawsuit filed by Mexico for the raid on its Embassy in Quito.
