During the proceedings, the prosecutor Osmar Legal confirmed the request for an oral trial for the two defendants, for the alleged acts of usury and money laundering.
For her part, the lawyer Bettina Legal, one of the defenders of the accused, pointed out that since they did not have time to close the numbers, finally, they did not propose the application of the abbreviated procedure for both.
At the beginning of the procedure, Judge Otazú rejected the request for suspension, because the two defendants were together with their lawyers, so there was no problem to carry out the procedure.
Later, the prosecutor ratified his request for an oral trial, together with the lawyer Carlos Arévalos, for the complaint against the defendants.
Later, the lawyer Jorge Bogarín filed a motion for reconsideration against the resolution that rejected the request to suspend the preliminary hearing. However, the judge upheld his rejection of the suspension.
NULLITY. The defense later raised several incidents such as the annulment of the accusation due to the fact that the original facts of the accusation were modified.
According to the defense, the complaint, the indictment, and even the complaint, spoke of a loan of G. 20,000 million, plus interest for G. 4,000 million for 17 months.
However, they affirm that the prosecutor, in his accusation, speaks of the loan of G. 15,000 million and interests of G. 7,000 million.
In addition, they required the definitive dismissal of both because according to the complaint the interest was G. 4,000 million for 17 months, which gives a percentage of 1.5% per month, which is not a user, but legal.
They also raised the exception of lack of action in the complaint for the crime of money laundering, and for that of usury against Fernando González Karjallo.
In other words, they say that the complaint cannot act because it is not a victim of money laundering, but the Paraguayan State is. Regarding usury, the prosecution did not accuse Fernando González for this crime, so the complaint has no action if the prosecution does not accuse.
Finally, they asked to prescribe some facts related to a loan for Juan Planás. That is, they can no longer operate over time.
Judge Otazú ordered the intermission until tomorrow at 09:00, to continue with the preliminary hearing. The defense will continue with its incidents. Afterwards, a transfer will be made to the prosecution and the complaint.
