And what does the prosecutor’s workplace do? They file an enchantment, typically the enchantment is resolved in three, six months, the legal professionals within the prosecutor’s workplace or within the new court docket do their work and it’s a vicious circle. And generally it’s about harmful criminals who’ve eradicated folks, who’ve brought on the loss of life of individuals, and likewise law enforcement officials, sailors, troopers.”

For the pinnacle of the Government, the debates on the reform ought to analyze and embrace within the initiative the prohibition of the so-called sabadazos.

“Judges order the discharge of criminals on Friday evenings, the traditional Saturday riots. How can we nonetheless be in these occasions with the Saturday riots? And a few are staunch defenders of all these corrupt organizations, speaking about how the Judiciary is doing nicely.”

The judges even, he mentioned, give the heads of the prisons on obligation 24 hours to launch the beneficiary of the choice “in order that they can’t examine whether or not there are (different) arrest warrants in some state. One thing simply occurred not too long ago, that whereas they have been in search of arrest warrants, the choose didn’t sleep, as a result of each hour he informed the jail official: ‘You have got a positive of a lot.’ And because the detainee didn’t come out, after two hours: ‘The positive has elevated by a lot.’ I believe it reached 25 thousand pesos.”
