Criminal complaint filed in mayor’s recall process

Lawyer Roberto Ruiz Díaz filed a criminal complaint with the Public Ministry against several officials of the Electoral Court (TE) for alleged irregularities in the process of collecting signatures to revoke the mandate of the capital’s mayor, José Luis Fábrega.

In the complaint they speak of “manipulation” of the entity’s database.The complaint is against Osman Valdés, director of the Electoral Organization and Victos A. Rodríguez as national director of Information and Communication Technology and all officials who are responsible, for the possible commission of crimes against the public administration, in the form of authority abuse; against the legal certainty of electronic means in the form against computer security. r Ruiz Díaz requested that an investigation be initiated into both officials of the TE, for their “actions” within this process in which they assure that the figures that they officially reveal “do not coincide” with the figures that appear in the certifications of the citizens who have supported the proposal, as well as the “illegal elimination” of the record that is sent to the person who supports the proposal that the number corresponding to their signature. For the plaintiff, this “demonstrates the manipulation of the database and computer system within the process.”

It also requests that the TE evidence evidence such as the authenticated copy of the Administrative File that contains the mandate revocation process. Likewise, it requests that the TE database be inspected and each of the certifications in support of the revocation of mandate be counted.
