Case against Martinelli side kick near close
THE Anti-corruption Discharge Prosecution is near the end of the investigations of Adolfo Chichi De Obarrio, the former private secretary of ex-president Ricardo Martinelli, and five others for alleged unjustified enrichment.
Judicial sources told La Prensa that the prosecutor Javier Miter Burgos is preparing the file for the hearing of the case, and will then send it to the Twelfth Criminal Court.
Last September, Judge Óscar Carrasquilla ordered the Public Prosecutor’s Office to file, after admitting an incident of controversy presented by De Obarrio’s defense, with the argument that the prosecutor of the case would have exceeded the deadline to complete the case file.
In an audit, the Comptroller General of the Republic determined that Adolfo Chichi De Obarrio could not justify a $ 3 million equity.
De Obarrio and his wife fled the country On Christmas Day, 2015.
