The Santiago Court of Appeals confirmed the coercive measure consisting of 18 months of pretrial detention against Luisa Yasiris Guzm\u00e1n, one of the figures identified in the case known as Operation Onco14. After the hearing, the defendant spoke about her legal and financial situation, asserting that she lacks the necessary resources to cover her defense costs.<\/p>\n\n
Guzm\u00e1n, who is the wife of businessman H\u00e9ctor Lora Cruceta, took the opportunity to categorically reject the accusations presented by the Public Prosecutor’s Office. The defendant denied any employment or financial ties to the National Health Insurance (Senasa).<\/p>\n\n
I did not work for Senasa, I have never been paid by Senasa, I don’t even have insurance through Senasa. I am not a member of the oncology department. The only thing I did was help the patients.<\/p>Luisa Yasiris Guzm\u00e1n<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n
Criticism of the judicial process<\/h3>\n\n
During his statements, Guzm\u00e1n questioned the handling of the investigation and suggested that there are irregularities in the way the case has been conducted. According to his perspective, some people are being used as scapegoats within the investigative scheme led by the authorities.<\/p>\n\n
Details about the Onco14 Operation<\/h3>\n\n
The Public Ministry maintains its accusation against Guzm\u00e1n, linking her to an alleged corruption network that reportedly operated from the Patronato Cibae\u00f1o Contra el C\u00e1ncer and the Instituto Oncol\u00f3gico Regional del Cibao (IORC). The key points of the accusation include:<\/p>\n\n\n
- The alleged diversion of public funds intended exclusively for cancer patients.<\/li>
- Direct impact on the assets of the State and the Senasa entity.<\/li>
- Economic damage to the members of the subsidized regime who received care at said institutions.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n
Despite the ratification of the coercive measure, the defendant’s defense has expressed its dissatisfaction, denouncing what they consider unequal treatment in the justice system. For her part, Guzm\u00e1n maintains that her work was always humanitarian in nature, focused on providing assistance to patients, and trusts that the truth will come to light as the judicial process advances.<\/p>\n\n
For the moment, the defendant must continue to comply with the preventive detention measure in the designated detention center, while the Public Ministry continues to strengthen its accusatory file regarding this corruption case in the health sector.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
