Money laundering set back for ex-Minister

A SUBMISSION of constitutional guarantees presented by  former Minister of Social Development, Guillermo Ferrufino, and Martha Elyna Herrera Marcos, facing charges  of alleged unjustified enrichment has been rejected by The First Superior Court.

The lawyers of Ferrufino and Herrera Marcos filed the amparo against the decision of the Judge  of the Eleventh Criminal  Court to forward the file to the Seventh Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office for the alleged commission of the crime of money laundering

Martha Herrera Marcos is the mother-in-law of Miguel Ángel Herrera, brother-in-law of Ferrufino and a former official of the Ministry of Social Development (Mides).  They claim the money was a loan.
