Overview
- The Congressional Ethics Commission convenes this afternoon to weigh opening an investigation oficio into the alleged assault and to reconsider a separate case involving threats to a journalist.
- Video aired by Cuarto Poder shows Alcarraz grabbing a fiscalizer’s phone, striking him and hurling insults during a Jan. 6 vehicle intervention tied to unpaid fines, then phoning a police commander as the tow proceeded and the debt was later rescheduled.
- The worker, identified as Juan Carlos de la Vía, filed a police complaint, and a medico-legal certificate recorded minor injuries consistent with the struggle; the SAT issued a statement rejecting violence against its staff.
- Alcarraz denies the allegations, claims she was not properly notified about the fines and disputes the accounts presented in the footage.
- Commission president Elvis Vergara outlined procedural deadlines and said the body could be voting on a sanction next month if the case advances.
