“I cannot raise my hand against anyone, as against state power, without a written and reasoned order from a judge. He (Alvarado) understands that he was captured, (but) he could not be captured. What has been given cannot be given. Regardless of whether we consider a person a criminal, constitutional norms must be taken seriously,” he said.

“On the same day of the events (when they announced the tweet) I tell him that he must come and buy all this (list) so that he comes and we went to Dinincri to make ourselves available to the authorities. you don’t have to do this show. They wanted headlines the next day and a framed picture of him,” he added.

Finally, the lawyer pointed out that in the event that new facts and evidence come to light that would confirm the alleged corrupt actions that the prosecutor’s office, a criminal organization, accuses him of, he would recommend that he use the legal figure of early termination and not negotiate or cooperate with justice.

“Whoever wants to attribute a crime to him must prove it. I would not defend a person whose innocence I do not believe (…) I do not see a negotiation scenario, so I tell him that as long as habeas corpus is in effect, the deadline is running out, I want to see the proceedings,” he said.
