CD deputies to face Supreme Court
DEMOCRATIC Change Party deputy Sergio Chello Galvez, who likes to call himself a stud and who has notoriously greased voting patterns in El Chorrillo through the distribution of truckloads of turkeys and hams, paid for with government funds, may have caught his foot in another food trap.
He and fellow CD deputy Vidal Garcia are to be investigated by the Supreme Court for alleged irregularities in the purchase of grains with money of the National Assistance Program (PAN).
The file of Galvez and Garcia deputies was sent to the court by the First Anti-Corruption Prosecutor, Tania Sterling, at the same time of the file following Ricardo Martinelli for involvement in the grains program.
The reporting was assigned to Judge Jose Ayu Prado on March 6. During a regular session, the nine judges decided that the investigations of Galvez and Vidal should be done separately because the legal situation of both is different.
Thus, Judge Ayu Prado will be the rapporteur of the two investigations. On Galvez file, Judge Jeronimo Mejia will be the judge of guarantees. While on the file of Deputy Garcia, Magistrate Harry Diaz will be the judge of guarantees.
Chello Galvez current deputy of circuit 8-7 was president of the National Assembly in the last two years of Martinelli’s Government. Meanwhile, Garcia is current deputy of circuit 8-9.
