translated from Spanish: Minister Rutherford sent office to TC to clarify suspension of investigation

This, after last week the TC welcomed the request for the defense of the former commander-in-chief of the Army, which allowed the whole investigation against him and not just the edge “tourism companies”. The court asks that it be “clarified whether the suspension, which it provides, is effective thereafter, relates only to the requester Mr. Humberto Oviedo Arriagada, or whether it also extends to all the remaining accused in respect of all the notebooks separately in this case,” the text says. In the letter, Rutherford further asks whether the suspension “affects the pronouncements concerning the freedom of the defendants, considering that certain strings of those documents currently exist in law-a-profilatory proceedings, including the mentioned Mr. Oviedo Arriagada”. This, by the time Oviedo wants to appeal to apply for his release. On Tuesday, the pleas will be made for the two appeals made in favour of General (R) Humberto Oviedo, who is being held as an alleged perpetrator of embezzlement of public flows of more than $4.5 billion. The Supreme Court will rule on her release and the nullity of the charges handed down by Minister Romy Rutherford. In view of this, Oviedo’s defence invokes clarification from the Constitutional Court, which last week confirmed that the case is suspended in relation to the uniformed exalto
