In addition, the Plenary Court indicated that

there will be declarations before the Legislative Assembly for its competence and also before the Public Prosecutor’s Office, so that they know the facts mentioned in the report of the Organizing Body of the Procedure, related to the crimes of false testimony and perjury on the part of magistrate Celso Gamboa Sánchez, as well as the facts described by Mr. David Patey in his statements.
