OPINION: Wiretap trial needs TV coverage

 The judges of the court in the wiretapping case agreed to various security measures in order to protect the identity of a witness, since, of course, what he is revealing does not make the accused – Ricardo Martinelli -at all happy. So the court prohibited those present from divulging not only his name but also what he declared at the trial. But as soon as it was prohibited, the accused has gone out to do his thing on social networks, expressing with his attitude the deep contempt he feels for the court and its members. That is why, once the confidential files have been read with the information of the victims, it is necessary for society to be able to witness this trial and not just the attendees. As they did in 2018, live transmission of what is happening in court is required, so that everyone can hear what is going on inside. Hopefully, the court orders that, for transparency, the trial can be followed from anywhere in the country and not through the versions of the interested parties, as is the case of what the accused and his technical defense writes. – LA PRENSA, Sep. 25.
