Martinelli legal team complaint  against prosecutor  filed

The administration  attorney general, Rigoberto González , has filed a complaint filed against the prosecutor Kenia Porcell, for the statements she made  on July 19, that anti-corruption prosecutors were being dismantled, because staff of the Directorate of Judicial Investigation (DIJ) that collaborates with prosecutors in cases related to high-profile corruption, had been sent on vacation.

Attorney Gonzalez, who is empowered to investigate the head of the Public Prosecutor’s Office, concluded that it was not possible to prove that Porcell committed a crime with her statements.

Consequently, he ordered the case to be provisionally filed.

Porcell had been denounced for the alleged commission of crimes against public administration and against the administration of justice.

The legal action was filed on July 23, 2019, by lawyers Roniel Ortiz, Jessica Canto and Shirley Castañeda of the legal team of former president Ricardo Martinelli (2009-2014)  and by  Kevin Moncada
