Judge Paredes Testified for El Universo Case
Posted On 15 Dec 2011
This morning the temporary judge of the 15th Court of Criminal Guarantees of Guayas, Juan Paredes, testified before the District Attorney in the process of preliminary investigation against him for misrepresentation and prevarication filed by the court prosecutor of El Universo Newspaper.
After two hours hearing, Antonio Gagliardo, Guayas District Attorney, told reporters he would order an expert witness to see if the sentence was printed on a dot matrix printer.
The lawsuit was filed after Judge Paredes has “drafted” the sentence against the El Universo Newspaper within 24 hours (a ruling written from the night of July 19 until early morning next day). (BG)
