Judge validates resolution of disqualification of lawyer Gordon Menéndez in TunTún case

(27-February-2023) Judge Marieli Rosado Figueroa, of the Superior Court of Humacao, validated the resolution disqualifying Jorge Cameron Menéndez and the Gordon & Cameron LLC Law Firm from representing Delwin Berríos Navarro, alias TunTún.

The Gordon & Cameron LLC Law Firm had previously been disqualified by Judge Yaritza Carrasquillo on July 7, to represent José A. Lozada Ramos, who is a member of the criminal organization led by “Tuntún”.

At that time, the Prosecutor’s Office filed the motion for disqualification after the lawyer Jorge Cameron Menéndez was the lawyer Kevin Rodríguez Hernández, the main witness in the case against Lozada Ramos, for which reason they indicated a conflict of interest to Gordon Menéndez being part of the same firm .

Today, at 1:30 in the afternoon, in the Humacao Court, the preliminary hearing continues against Berríos Navarro, who to date has no legal representation, and against Lozada Ramos, represented by Edwin Castro Fontánez. The lawyer Jorge Gordon Menéndez was hired by the Berríos Navarro couple, however the public ministry reiterated that he cannot represent him due to the disqualification of July 7, which was validated by Judge Rosado Figueroa in a resolution released this morning .

On the other hand, last week, Judge Carrasquillo called the preliminary hearing, and after several hours listening to the legal arguments of attorney Gordon Menéndez who established that the law firms were different, the magistrate reiterated her resolution. In fact, she warned TunTún and his family members in the courtroom that she has given enough time to resolve the matter of legal representation. She added that in view of the importance of the case before her consideration it would take place today.
