Overview
- The TSJCV found no indications of prevaricación or coacciones in the judge’s handling of the dana investigation.
- Manos Limpias targeted orders that limited its role and later abandoned an appeal, a move the court called contradictory.
- The ruling warns that press reports cannot substitute for evidence when advancing criminal accusations.
- Claims about the judge’s husband participating in the case lacked any proof and, even if accurate, carried no criminal relevance.
- The decision is not final, allowing a three-day petition for reconsideration, and the dana case continues under the same magistrate.
