“The trouble that leaves us in our mouths is that in Panama a person can be sentenced for hunting iguanas or for selling pirated movies, but that the powerful have another law that applies to them … there is a pricking machine, there are pricks, there is a violation of Human Rights, but there is no one who gave the order, so this goes totally against current criminal jurisprudence, it goes against the Human Rights Theory that someone who exercises power in an authoritarian way is responsible for what his subordinates do ” said the lawyer.
He indicated that international regulations and Latin American criminal jurisprudence have recognized the concept of the theory of the domain of the fact, and whoever has the authority and exercises it arbitrarily is responsible for what happens.
“The legal and judicial decisions have to be logical, you reached point B because you went through point A, if the accomplices were convicted, if the material authors are being searched, it means that there was an intellectual author who was behind the punctures, look at who they punctured, look at who benefited from the punctures, look at what they punctured for and you will understand who benefited from that … all these factors help to reach a decision, ”he said.
It is worth mentioning that former President Ricardo Martinelli was followed by the Pinchazos case for the alleged commission of the crimes of interception of telecommunications, monitoring, persecution and surveillance without judicial authorization.
