González said that, in April 2013, when Moncada Luna was president of the Supreme Court (CSJ) – Omega Engineering received an advance for the construction of a judicial building in La Chorrera.
He explained that the amounts, for purposes of this investigation, “are not important, the transfers that were made later are the ones that have to be explained”.

“And I will eventually ask the committee to make the pertinent accusation”
Ramiro Jarvis, lawyer for Moncada Luna, denied that the accounts seized by González are related to his client.
“Some people have said they are owners of these accounts. It is affecting the reputation of people who have nothing to do with this process, “he said.
