Money changing hands between political criminals

In the trial of the New Business case, the prosecution presented an expert who analyzed the financial operations and banking transactions that led to the convictions of several individuals, including a former president of the Republic. Logically, the defense tried to discredit the content of his analysis, but they also wanted to discredit him, as a person and as a professional. The expert was interrogated for 12 hours, over two days, by prosecutors and defense attorneys, who tried to confuse him. The ruse did not work; on the contrary, without his analysis, it would not have been possible to obtain the convictions. This deputy commissioner also proved the importance of having specialized personnel to facilitate the analysis of these cases; to provide funds, human resources, technological tools and even training in communications, to allow an agile and precise work. Part of the money that is seized through these processes should be used for the aforementioned purposes, instead of entering it into the National Treasury so that others – like those convicted – can waste it. Or to put it more precisely: money changing hands between criminals. It is necessary to legislate on this money in order to use it as a judicial investment and so that it does not end up in the pocket of the criminals on duty – LA PRENSA, Jul. 22.
