Overview
- Judge Augusto José Paz Almonacid ordered the dismissal of charges against Sebastián Sosa, Braian Cufré, Abiel Osorio and José Ignacio Florentín Bobadilla, ruling that the facts do not constitute a crime.
- He rejected the accuser’s bid to nullify ECIF cellphone examinations, found no procedural or privacy violations, and weighed those results with a psychological report to conclude the encounter was consensual.
- The complainant’s legal team said it will appeal the decision, setting up a review by higher courts.
- The Public Prosecutor’s Office had previously backed dismissal only for Sosa, reflecting a divided stance before the final ruling.
- The decision also provides for the return of financial guarantees once final, declines to investigate the accuser’s lawyers, and sends file copies to federal justice to evaluate possible offenses by Deputy Carlos Cisneros.
