Judiciary asks Congress to amend request to ban Betsy Chavez from leaving country

He Power of attorney decided to announce invalid a request to prevent leaving the country, formulated by Congress against parliamentarians Betsy Chavez and Roberto Sanchez.

The Supreme Investigating Court made this decision after Standing Committee of Parliament demanded the measure as part of investigations that both face a coup attempt on December 7, 2022.

However, the justice of the peace Juan Carlos Chekli gave Congress three days to to correct request “under fear of rejection”.

Basics

According to the court ruling, “the consideration of the application cannot be carried out only referentially”, that is, not only because it is a prerogative corresponding to Standing Commission or to Plenum of the Congress rather, “it must be done in response to the specific circumstances of the cause, the nature of the process from which it springs, and what is pursued by the cause and the measure.”

In this sense, the judge Checkley Soria pointed out that the petition of the Parliament did not indicate “the temporality (duration) of the measure”, and also did not substantiate “elements of conviction justifying the petition, based on the facts that are the subject of imputation, that is, in accordance with the news of an allegedly criminal fact attributed to the persons who carried out investigation”.

“Therefore, it is necessary to specify your claim and duly substantiate it in accordance with the procedural rules in order to issue an appropriate conclusion, taking into account the comments made, while without prejudice to sending additional information, duly substantiated, which considers it appropriate to substantiate your claims,” ​​the decision says. .

For this reason, the Court of Inquiry indicated that “for the purpose of issuing a ruling, it is expedient to “declare invalid claim with a prudential period for its correction with an appropriate warning”.
