Prosecution opens case against President of Chamber III for influence peddling

July 19, 2018 by Staff News Writer

The Attorney General’s Office confirmed that it opened a criminal case against the President of the Third Chamber, Doris Arias, for the alleged crimes of influence peddling and breach of legal duty.

In addition, the Public Ministry also initiated another process in the Office of Probity, Transparency and Anticorruption for the same crimes, and this has to do with Arias’ management in the Administrative Dispute Court, which took place at dawn on Wednesday and ended with the decision by Judge Alcevtih Godínez to “freeze” the two months of suspension without salary imposed on Arias by the Full Court last Monday.

On Thursday, the same process was conducted by magistrate María Elena Gómez, also at dawn, which was revised by the same judge and obtained the same favorable result for the appellant.

The Judicial Investigation Agency carried out a search and seized documents in the office of the Judge of the Contentious Administrative Court, Alcevtih Godínez, who suspended the sanction imposed to magistrates Doris Arias and María Elena Gómez.
