Jean Alain Rodríguez asserts that he will take his case to the final judicial instances
The former Attorney General of the Republic, Jean Alain Rodríguez, has reaffirmed his position regarding the judicial process he is facing for alleged acts of administrative corruption. During his recent statements, the former official was emphatic in pointing out that his legal team will exhaust all necessary resources to appeal any decision that does not favor his request for the dismissal of the case.
Rodríguez emphasized that the current legal debate centers on the duration of the case, which, according to his arguments, is approaching six years. Under his interpretation of article 150 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, the former attorney general maintains that the maximum permitted time limit has been exceeded, further pointing out that there are delays and deficiencies attributed to the Public Prosecutor’s Office that had already been noted by previous courts.
We are facing this head-on and you will know the truth with evidence. Whatever path this decision takes, we will respect it because we respect the courts and we will continue.
