Moderators Moderator_02 Posted March 26, 2020 Author Moderators Share Posted March 26, 2020 Quote Rampaging Panama lawmaker could face jail time Pugislistic deputy and top cop Posted 25/03/2020 Deputy Bolota Salazar of the ruling PRD party who is building a portfolio of cases involving challenges to police officers is facing charges in the Supreme Court that could put him behind bars. The latest incident came when driving with no visible license plate, refused to show his driver's license, and when the agent tried to speak to him, he brought up his deputy status. The incident went viral with the March 15 broadcast of a video in which Salazar is heard to yell aggressively at the agent: “Take off your uniform. I fight like crazy .. I am a boxer, film me ”. Following the latest incident Police Director Jorge Miranda, criminally denounced him before the Supreme (CSJ) for the alleged commission of crime against the public administration. But it was not the first incident reports La Prensa. On November 13, 2019, the Legal Department of the National Police filed a complaint with the Supreme Court against Deputy Salazar for disrespect for authority and hindering police work. This, followed incident in the Los Lagos sector, in Colón, when the police were called to a party due to complaints from neighbors. On that occasion, Salazar went to a police station after one of the partiers and was arrested threatened to break the heads of the officers. The most recent complaint was distributed on March 18 by the Secretariat of the Court and was filed in the office of Judge Luis Ramón Fábrega, President of the Court. After the incidents, PRD general secretary, Pedro Miguel González, warned that "nobody is above the law." But to date, the PRD has not announced whether an internal disciplinary process has been opened.

Moderators Moderator_02 Posted April 24, 2020 Author Moderators Share Posted April 24, 2020 Quote Trece diputados tendrán que testificar si la Corte admite la denuncia contra Jairo Salazar Dos de los tres diputados protagonistas de una agria disputa, defendieron sus posiciones ayer en el pleno de la Asamblea. El magistrado Olmedo Arrocha concedió medidas de protección a Harding. Aminta BustamanteEliana Morales Gil 23 abr 2020 - 11:07 PM Kayra Harding, la diputada que denunció la agresión por parte de su copartidario Jairo Salazar. Isaac Ortega Si la Corte Suprema de Justicia (CSJ) admite la denuncia que interpuso la diputada perredista Kayra Harding contra su copartidario Jairo Bolota Salazar por presunta violencia de género, 13 diputados del oficialista Partido Revolucionario Democrático (PRD) y de su aliado el Movimiento Liberal Republicano Nacionalista (Molirena) tendrán que testificar en el proceso. Ellos son: Corina Cano, Maira González, Rosa Domínguez, Marcos Castillero, Leandro Ávila, Fernando Arce, Eugenio Bernal, Eric Broce y Luis Rafael Cruz. En la lista también están: Juan Alberto Esquivel, Manolo Ruiz, Raúl Pineda y Ricardo Torres. Harding solicitó el testimonio de sus compañeros en la acción legal que interpuso ante la Corte ayer en la mañana. Lo hizo un día después de que diera a conocer que Salazar la había insultado y agredido con una botella de agua, y que también golpeó en la frente a su copartidario Mariano López, diputado de Colón. El hecho ocurrió en la tarde del pasado miércoles en una reunión de la bancada. “Él es un agresor”, dijo Harding cuando llegó al Palacio Gil Ponce, en compañía de su abogado Víctor Harding y de sus escoltas. “Solicitaré una medida de alejamiento. Él se sienta detrás de mí [en el pleno de la Asamblea Nacional] y ya me agredió física y verbalmente delante de mi bancada y la del Molirena”, agregó. Al magistrado Olmedo Arrocha le corresponde decidir si se admite o no el recurso. Un comunicado de la Corte informó que Arrocha puso a circular ayer un proyecto sobre este caso. Informó también que preliminarmente decidió otorgar medidas preventivas de asistencia y protección a Harding. Este medio pudo conocer que se pidió a la Unidad de Protección a las Víctimas del Ministerio Público, que atendiera a la diputada. Además, se solicitó al Instituto de Medicina Legal y Ciencias Forenses que le haga una revisión médico legal. Parte de los insultos que reportó la diputada Harding en la denuncia que presentó ante la Corte Suprema de Justicia. Los tres discursos Horas después de que Harding acudiera a la Corte, los tres protagonistas de esta historia se vieron las caras en el pleno de la Asamblea Nacional. Allí, aprovechando el periodo de incidencias, Salazar y Harding pronunciaron apasionados discursos para defender sus posiciones. López, quien se dejó ver con una herida en la cabeza, fue ambiguo. Cuidó cada una de sus palabras y evitó tomar posición a favor de alguna de las partes, aunque sí dijo estar en contra de cualquier agresión y se proclamó creyente del diálogo. Bolota Salazar hizo una entrada ruidosa al Legislativo. Divulgó una fotografía con los abogados que lo defenderán: Ronier Ortiz, Alejandro Pérez, Jessica Canto y su copartidaria y diputada Zulay Rodríguez. Los tres primeros son parte del equipo legal del expresidente Ricardo Martinelli. Sobre Rodríguez, ya hay preguntas: ¿cómo la secretaria del frente femenino del PRD y presidenta de la comisión legislativa de Asuntos de la Mujer defiende a una persona acusada de agredir a una colega copartidaria? Con el espaldarazo de los abogados de Martinelli, Salazar, quien además es investigado en la Corte por dos denuncias presentadas por el director de la Policía Nacional, Jorge Miranda, por amenazar a agentes policiales y obstruir la labor de los servidores públicos, inició su retórica. Habló durante casi ocho minutos. Se autoproclamó buen hijo, y buen padre. “Nunca di ejemplos de violencia en mi hogar. Tengo a mis hijas y jamás quisiera que les pasara algo, porque yo considero que me volvería loco”. Dijo que él cree que “hay algo sospechoso”, pero que todo estaba en manos de sus abogados. Aseguró que nunca ha tenido problemas con alguna mujer en Colón, su tierra. Narró que todo empezó cuando él se opuso a un proyecto de ley que impulsaba Harding, que penalizaba con cárcel a los que cometen saqueos. A Mariano López lo catalogó como “su doctor de cabecera”; que sí tienen diferencias pero, que de “ahí no pasan”. “Me acusan de delincuente, y tienen que probarlo y lo van a tener que probar en la Corte”, sustentó. Harding pidió la palabra. Tildó de “populista” el discurso de su colega. Acusó a su bancada y a la del Molirena de tener un “silencio cínico”. “Te instruyeron muy bien... la batería de abogados de Ricardo Martinelli, y entonces sí huele feo y eso es lo raro, porque ese es el discurso contra el PRD. Y sí, yo soy una entregada a mi partido, porque esta curul le pertenece al PRD. El discurso de la clase social te queda asqueroso”, le dijo a Salazar. Siguió. “No quiero que nadie venga a defenderme, pero soy una mujer que ha sido maltratada, vejada, insultada... y me van a tener que matar ... y vas a ir preso, porque eres un delincuente. La agresión a la mujer es un delito y tú lo hiciste y hay testigos, y yo no sé si es cobardía y le temen a tu fuerza física. Yo no le temo a Jairo Bolota”. López, confuso Cuando tomó la palabra, López pidió disculpas “al pueblo” y rápidamente manifestó: “podemos tener diferencias, pero estas diferencias debemos llevarlas al diálogo y no a la agresión física” . Diputados del PRD que pidieron el anonimato narraron a este medio que varios le reclamaron a López su posición ambigua. Esperaban un discurso más enérgico. Aseguraron que López contestó que él opta por evitar la confrontación con Salazar, por temor a represalias. Ambos son de Colón, políticamente se han enfrentado, y López conoce hasta donde pueden llegar los seguidores de Salazar. De hecho, en la reunión del pasado miércoles, antes de que se de diera el incidente, según cuentan diputados perredistas, Salazar se ufanó de darle guerra al expresidente Juan Carlos Varela (2014-2019). Incluso, dijo que Varela se vio obligado a llamarlo varias veces en medio de revueltas en Colón. Entonces era representante de Barrio Norte. ¿Fue por la moratoria? Tanto Salazar como Zulay Rodríguez atribuyen el incidente a su posición favorable a las moratorias bancarias y de servicios públicos aprobadas por la Asamblea en distintos proyectos de ley. Sin embargo, diputados perredistas afirman que ese tema ni siquiera se trató en la reunión en la que se generó el escándalo. Que si bien la bancada siempre ha estado dividida en bandos, en este momento esas facciones no están activas, pues cada quien, por estos días, está ocupado con otros asuntos. Por ejemplo, Benicio Robinson hace días no va a la Asamblea, porque está lidiando con problemas de salud. Roberto Ábrego, después que fue escogido como el representante de la Asamblea ante la directiva de la Autoridad del Canal de Panamá, ni asiste a las sesiones. Y Raúl Pineda, uno de los que impulsa la moratoria, anda pendiente de sus negocios y repartiendo bolsas de alimento en su circuito. Más allá de la política, el tema ahora queda en manos de la Corte. El magistrado Arrocha, quien debe decidir si admite el caso, ya está entrenado en atender casos del diputados perredés. Es el fiscal del proceso que se le sigue a Arquesio Arias, por delitos sexuales. (Con información de Juan Manuel Díaz) Moderator comment: Below is an unedited automated translation of the above news article. Quote Thirteen deputies will have to testify if the Court admits the complaint against Jairo Salazar Two of the three deputies involved in a bitter dispute, defended their positions yesterday in the plenary session of the Assembly. Magistrate Olmedo Arrocha granted protection measures to Harding. Aminta BustamanteEliana Morales Gil Apr 23, 2020 - 11:07 PM <<ULNE6EKSLBB47ILNRV5QAFU5IU.jpg>> Kayra Harding, the deputy who denounced the attack by her partner Jairo Salazar. Isaac Ortega If the Supreme Court of Justice (CSJ) admits the complaint filed by the PRD deputy Kayra Harding against her partner Jairo Bolota Salazar for alleged gender violence, 13 deputies of the ruling Democratic Revolutionary Party (PRD) and its ally the Liberal Republican Nationalist Movement (Molirena) will have to testify in the process. They are: Corina Cano, Maira González, Rosa Domínguez, Marcos Castillero, Leandro Ávila, Fernando Arce, Eugenio Bernal, Eric Broce and Luis Rafael Cruz. Also on the list are: Juan Alberto Esquivel, Manolo Ruiz, Raúl Pineda and Ricardo Torres. Harding requested the testimony of his colleagues in the legal action that he filed before the Court yesterday morning. She did it a day after she disclosed that Salazar had insulted and assaulted her with a bottle of water, and that she also hit her partner Mariano López, a deputy from Colón, on the forehead. The event occurred on the afternoon of last Wednesday at a meeting of the bench. "He is an aggressor," Harding said when he arrived at the Gil Ponce Palace, accompanied by his lawyer, Victor Harding, and his escorts. "I will request a restraining measure. He sits behind me [in the plenary session of the National Assembly] and has already physically and verbally attacked me in front of my bench and that of Molirena, ”he added. It is up to magistrate Olmedo Arrocha to decide whether or not to accept the appeal. A statement from the Court reported that Arrocha yesterday circulated a project on this case. He also reported that he preliminarily decided to grant preventive measures of assistance and protection to Harding. This medium could learn that the Victim Protection Unit of the Public Ministry was asked to attend to the deputy. In addition, the Institute of Forensic Medicine and Forensic Sciences was asked to do a legal medical review. <<SC4R3KZ7WFCATPKRRZYCWOKH5E.jpg>> Part of the insults reported by Deputy Harding in the complaint she filed with the Supreme Court of Justice. The three discourses Hours after Harding went to Court, the three protagonists of this story saw each other in the plenary session of the National Assembly. There, taking advantage of the incident period, Salazar and Harding made passionate speeches to defend their positions. López, who was seen with a head injury, was ambiguous. He took care of each of his words and avoided taking a position in favor of any of the parties, although he did say he was against any aggression and proclaimed himself a believer in the dialogue. Bolota Salazar made a noisy entrance to the Legislative. He released a photograph with the lawyers who will defend him: Ronier Ortiz, Alejandro Pérez, Jessica Canto and his partner and deputy Zulay Rodríguez. The first three are part of former President Ricardo Martinelli's legal team. About Rodríguez, there are already questions: how does the secretary of the PRD women's front and president of the legislative commission for Women's Affairs defend a person accused of assaulting a fellow colleague? With the backing of Martinelli's lawyers, Salazar, who is also being investigated in court for two complaints filed by the director of the National Police, Jorge Miranda, for threatening police officers and obstructing the work of public servants, he began his rhetoric . He spoke for almost eight minutes. He proclaimed himself a good son, and a good father. “I never gave examples of violence in my home. I have my daughters and I would never want anything to happen to them, because I consider that I would go crazy ”. He said that he believes that "there is something suspicious", but that everything was in the hands of his lawyers. He assured that he has never had problems with any woman in Colón, his land. He narrated that it all started when he opposed a bill promoted by Harding, which penalized those who commit looting. He classified Mariano López as "his family doctor"; They do have differences, but they do not go from there. "They accuse me of being a criminal, and they have to prove it and they are going to have to prove it in court," he argued. Harding asked to speak. He called his colleague's speech "populist". He accused his bench and that of Molirena of having a "cynical silence". "They instructed you very well ... Ricardo Martinelli's battery of lawyers, and then it does smell ugly and that is the strange thing, because that is the discourse against the PRD. And yes, I am a dedicated to my party, because this seat belongs to the PRD. The discourse of the social class is disgusting to you ”, he told Salazar. Continued. "I do not want anyone to come to defend me, but I am a woman who has been mistreated, abused, insulted ... and they are going to have to kill me ... and you are going to be imprisoned, because you are a criminal. Assault on women is a crime and you did it and there are witnesses, and I don't know if it is cowardice and they fear your physical strength. I am not afraid of Jairo Bolota ”. López, confused When he spoke, López apologized "to the people" and quickly stated: "we can have differences, but these differences must lead to dialogue and not to physical aggression." Deputies of the PRD who asked for anonymity narrated to this medium that several demanded López his ambiguous position. They expected a more energetic speech. They assured that López replied that he chooses to avoid confrontation with Salazar, for fear of retaliation. Both are from Colón, politically they have faced each other, and López knows how far Salazar's followers can go. In fact, at the meeting last Wednesday, before the incident occurred, according to PRD deputies, Salazar boasted of giving war to former President Juan Carlos Varela (2014-2019). He even said that Varela was forced to call him several times amid riots in Colón. At that time I was a representative of Barrio Norte Was it because of the moratorium? Both Salazar and Zulay Rodríguez attribute the incident to their favorable position to the bank and public service moratoriums approved by the Assembly in different bills. However, PRD deputies affirm that this issue was not even discussed at the meeting in which the scandal was generated. That although the caucus has always been divided into factions, at the moment these factions are not active, since each one, these days, is busy with other matters. For example, Benicio Robinson has not been to the Assembly for days, because he is dealing with health problems. Roberto Ábrego, after he was chosen as the representative of the Assembly before the directive of the Panama Canal Authority, does not attend the sessions. And Raúl Pineda, one of those who promotes the moratorium, is on the lookout for his business and handing out bags of food on his circuit. Beyond politics, the issue is now in the hands of the Court. Judge Arrocha, who must decide whether to admit the case, is already trained in attending cases of the Perredés deputies. He is the prosecutor of the process that Arquesio Arias is followed, for sexual crimes.

Moderators Moderator_02 Posted April 24, 2020 Author Moderators Share Posted April 24, 2020 Quote La ruta jurídica de un presunto agresor Rodrigo Noriega 24 abr 2020 - 12:00 AM Jairo Bolota Salazar. Isaac Ortega La violencia de género es una conducta seriamente castigada en la jurisdicción panameña. Aunque se presume la inocencia del diputado Jairo Salazar en la supuesta agresión física y verbal contra su colega Kayra Harding, esto implica serias consecuencias. El Reglamento Interno de la Asamblea Nacional establece, en su artículo 50, numeral 4, que la Comisión de Credenciales, Ética Parlamentaria y Asuntos Jurídicos debe investigar los hechos graves que ocurran en el parlamento. Sin embargo, el artículo 51 excluye aquellas conductas que puedan ser calificadas como delitos de esta jurisdicción. La responsabilidad principal de esta causa le compete a la Corte Suprema de Justicia. Aquí se cruzan tanto el Código Procesal Penal como la Ley 82 de 2013 sobre violencia de género, cuyo artículo 52 autoriza a conceder medidas de protección con la sola presentación de la denuncia. La Corte debe decidir en pleno si se admite la denuncia y, en caso afirmativo, asignará a un magistrado fiscal y un magistrado juez de garantías. Quizás, el más importante obstáculo en esta etapa sea la ponderación que haga el pleno de la Corte sobre la existencia o no de prueba idónea que fundamente el caso. Las consecuencias de la presunta agresión no se limitan a la jurisdicción penal. Según el estatuto del Partido Revolucionario Democrático, existe la posibilidad de aplicar sanciones políticas por este tipo de conducta. Sin embargo, según el literal “K” del artículo 23, le corresponde al Directorio del PRD solicitar la investigación al fiscal del partido. El Directorio está compuesto por el Comité Ejecutivo Nacional (CEN) y mas de 300 miembros elegidos por el Congreso Nacional. En el improbable caso que esto sucediera, le corresponde al fiscal del partido hacer la investigación para presentarla al Tribunal Nacional de Disciplina. La sanción pudiera llegar a ser hasta la revocatoria de mandato y la pérdida de la curul. Cualquiera sea el destino procesal y político de este caso, se establecerá un precedente histórico. Moderator comment: Below is an unedited automated translation of the above news article. Quote The legal route of an alleged aggressor Rodrigo Noriega Apr 24, 2020 - 12:00 AM <<salazar.jpg>> Jairo Bolota Salazar. Isaac Ortega Gender violence is a seriously punished conduct in the Panamanian jurisdiction. Although deputy Jairo Salazar is presumed innocent in the alleged physical and verbal assault against his colleague Kayra Harding, this implies serious consequences. The Internal Regulations of the National Assembly establishes, in its article 50, numeral 4, that the Committee on Credentials, Parliamentary Ethics and Legal Affairs must investigate serious events that occur in parliament. However, article 51 excludes conduct that may be classified as crimes under this jurisdiction. The main responsibility for this case lies with the Supreme Court of Justice. Here both the Criminal Procedure Code and Law 82 of 2013 on gender violence intersect, whose article 52 authorizes the granting of protection measures by the mere presentation of the complaint. The Court must decide in full whether the complaint is admitted and, if so, it will assign a fiscal magistrate and a magistrate judge of guarantees. Perhaps, the most important obstacle at this stage is the consideration made by the plenary of the Court on the existence or not of suitable evidence to support the case. The consequences of the alleged assault are not limited to criminal jurisdiction. According to the statute of the Democratic Revolutionary Party, there is the possibility of applying political sanctions for this type of conduct. However, according to the literal “K” of article 23, it corresponds to the PRD Directory to request the investigation to the party prosecutor. The Board of Directors is made up of the National Executive Committee (CEN) and more than 300 members elected by the National Congress. In the unlikely event that this happens, it is up to the party prosecutor to carry out the investigation to present it to the National Disciplinary Tribunal. The sanction could be up to the revocation of the mandate and the loss of the seat. Whatever the procedural and political fate of this case, a historical precedent will be established. https://www.prensa.com/impresa/panorama/la-ruta-juridica-de-un-presunto-agresor/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only was there physical aggression against a woman, but "bullying" prevailed at a meeting of state affairs. The protagonist of this barbarism is the same deputy who has repeatedly disrespected the police in Colón, lives by stirring up illegal strikes in ports and invitations to pray in parliament. In addition, this deputy boasts of being a university professor. What can he teach? The PRD has the way to solve this problem by expelling the deputy from its ranks and supporting the corresponding complaints before the Supreme Court for gender violence and physical aggression. The damage suffered by the country's governance in such difficult times is immense. If you, gentlemen of the PRD, are not capable of doing the right thing, you will condemn the country.

Harding denounced that last Wednesday, Salazar attacked his partner Mariano López, and he insulted her, when he tried to mediate, and hit her with a bottle of water, in a meeting of the bancada. The deputy denounced Salazar before the Supreme Court of Justice for alleged gender violence. It is up to the plenary of the Court to decide whether or not to accept the complaint. The case is in the hands of magistrate Olmedo Arrocha, who reported that he has already circulated a ruling in this regard and requested protection for Harding. Ábrego recalled that Article 51 of the Internal Regulations of the Assembly establishes that the commission must prepare a report on the incident, "provided that these events do not constitute crimes whose knowledge falls within the jurisdiction of the ordinary justice system." In this sense, he explained that the first thing that the commission must analyze is the criminal or administrative categorization of those behaviors. He recalled that there is already an action before the Court, in which the complainant is based on the “alleged commission of a criminal act”. He added that "if the commission is convened, it must first analyze whether or not it has competence to hear about these events, for the reasons stated," he said. The dispute between Harding and Salazar also forced the Democratic Revolutionary Party to initiate a disciplinary investigation. https://www.prensa.com/impresa/panorama/brego-sobre-el-caso-de-harding-y-salazar-hay-que-analizar-si-tenemos-competencia/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yo estaba ahí (…) ¿Qué querían? ¿Que cayera noqueada?”. Así, molesto, reaccionó el diputado del circuito 4-5 durante un programa en Radio Chiriquí, en el cual resaltó que en las redes sociales se ha criticado mucho a Harding supuestamente porque no tenía golpes visibles. Al señalar que hay que dar gracias de que a la diputada no le rompieron los lentes, Ruiz corroboró la versión de Harding, quien ha señalado que la botella lanzada por Salazar sí la golpeó. Estas declaraciones de Ruiz fueron “colgadas” en las redes sociales. El secretario general del PRD, Pedro Miguel González, ha dicho que habló con por lo menos 15 diputados que presenciaron el incidente y que estos dan versiones contradictorias. Salazar ha reconocido que lanzó la botella, pero que, según él, no iba dirigida a Harding. Además, amenazó con demandar a la periodista Jenia Nenzen por haber hecho comentarios sobre este hecho público. El día del incidente, Harding declaró: “Estábamos en una reunión de bancada, había un intercambio de opinión con el diputado Mariano López. Lo invitó a pelear, le entró a puñete y le rompió la cabeza”. Ruiz dijo que él no está ni con Harding ni con Salazar, pero que dio su testimonio para desmentir a quienes dicen que se trata de teatro de la diputada. Harding presentó una denuncia por “violencia de género” ante la Corte Suprema de Justicia, que debe decidir si lo admite o no. Como parte de sus pruebas aportó lo que serían las palabras de Salazar, en la que aparecen insultos contra la diputada por su condición de mujer.

Juan Manuel Díaz 06 may 2020 - 12:00 AM Jairo ‘Bolota’ Salazar, diputado del Partido Revolucionario Democrático. Archivo El pleno de la Corte Suprema de Justicia admitió dos denuncias presentadas por el director de la Policía Nacional, Jorge Miranda, contra el diputado del oficialista Partido Revolucionario Democrático (PRD) Jairo Bolota Salazar. Las denuncias están relacionadas con escandalosos incidentes entre el diputado y miembros de la Policía. La primera denuncia contra el político fue presentada el 13 de noviembre de 2019, luego de que agentes de la Policía intentaron detener una fiesta en el sector Altos de Los Lagos, Colón, en la que estaba el diputado. Sin embargo, Salazar, molesto, dijo improperios a los agentes del orden público. Esta denuncia quedó radicada en el despacho de la magistrada de la Corte Suprema de Justicia Ángela Russo, quien elaboró un proyecto de fallo solicitando la admisión de la denuncia, moción que fue respaldada por el resto de los magistrados del máximo tribunal. Mientras, la segunda denuncia contra Salazar fue presentada en marzo pasado por los abogados de la Policía Jorge Ortega y Gustavo De Arco. Concretamente, denunciaron al diputado luego de que este fuera interceptado por la Policía cuando conducía un carro sin placa y se negó a mostrar su licencia de conducir. En el reparto correspondiente, el caso quedó en manos del magistrado Luis Ramón Fábrega, presidente de la Corte, pero luego se decidió que la magistrada Russo tramite ambas denuncias. Como juez de garantías del proceso fue designado el magistrado José Ayú Prado. Harding El diputado tiene una tercera denuncia en trámite de admisión en la Corte Suprema de Justicia. Se trata la que interpuso su copartidaria Kayra Harding el pasado 23 de abril por la presunta comisión del delito de violencia género. Harding narró que en una reunión de bancada, el día anterior, Salazar le lanzó una botella con agua que la golpeó en el rostro y pecho. En el documento, Harding citó a 13 diputados del PRD y del Movimiento Liberal Republicano Nacionalista (Molirena) que fueron testigos de los hechos. En efecto, el diputado Manolo Ruiz, del Molirena, confirmó en un programa de radio difundido en Chiriquí que Harding fue agredida en la reunión. La denuncia de Harding fue asignada al magistrado Olmedo Arrocha, quien pidió al Instituto de Medicina Legal y Ciencias Forenses una certificación de las lesiones sufridas por la diputada. Según fuentes del Órgano Judicial, Arrocha preparó un proyecto de fallo para admitir la denuncia de Harding. Se estima que el tema será tratado por el pleno de la Corte el próximo jueves. En tanto, el magistrado Cecilio Cedalise debe decidir si admite o no una denuncia que interpuso Jairo Salazar contra Kayra Harding la semana pasada. La acusa de la supuesta comisión de delitos contra la administración pública en la modalidad de simulación de hecho punible, y calumnia. El pasado 30 de abril, día en que se presentó el recurso, Ronier Ortiz, uno de los abogados del diputado, explicó que la denuncia surge básicamente porque Harding tildó a su representado de “delincuente” en medios de comunicación y en el pleno de la Asamblea Nacional. El abogado precisó que presentaron ante la Corte documentos en los que supuestamente se prueba que su cliente no tiene antecedentes penales.

Archive The plenary session of the Supreme Court of Justice admitted two complaints filed by the director of the National Police, Jorge Miranda, against the deputy of the ruling Democratic Revolutionary Party (PRD) Jairo Bolota Salazar. The complaints are related to scandalous incidents between the deputy and members of the Police. The first complaint against the politician was filed on November 13, 2019, after Police officers tried to stop a party in the Altos de Los Lagos sector, Colón, where the deputy was. However, Salazar, annoyed, said expletives to law enforcement officers. This complaint was filed in the office of the Supreme Court Justice Angela Russo, who prepared a draft ruling requesting the admission of the complaint, a motion that was supported by the rest of the magistrates of the highest court. Meanwhile, the second complaint against Salazar was filed last March by Police attorneys Jorge Ortega and Gustavo De Arco. Specifically, they denounced the deputy after he was intercepted by the Police while driving a car without a license plate and refused to show his driver's license. In the corresponding distribution, the case was left to magistrate Luis Ramón Fábrega, president of the Court, but it was later decided that magistrate Russo processed both complaints. Judge José Ayú Prado was appointed as judge of guarantees of the process. Harding The deputy has a third complaint pending admission to the Supreme Court of Justice. This is the one filed by its partner Kayra Harding on April 23 for the alleged commission of the crime of gender violence. Harding reported that at a bench meeting the day before, Salazar threw a bottle of water at him that hit her in the face and chest. In the document, Harding cited 13 deputies from the PRD and the Liberal Republican Nationalist Movement (Molirena) who witnessed the events.

Meanwhile, Magistrate Cecilio Cedalise must decide whether or not to admit a complaint Jairo Salazar filed against Kayra Harding last week. He accuses her of the alleged commission of crimes against the public administration in the form of simulating punishable acts, and slander. On April 30, the day the appeal was filed, Ronier Ortiz, one of the deputy's lawyers, explained that the complaint arose basically because Harding branded his represented as a “criminal” in the media and in the plenary session of the National Assembly. The lawyer specified that they presented documents to the Court that allegedly prove that his client has no criminal record. https://www.prensa.com/impresa/panorama/corte-admite-denuncias-contra-diputado-salazar/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two days after Harding filed a complaint against him - also for the second time - for alleged gender violence, this time providing a report from the doctor Saúl Salcedo, from the Assembly clinic, which certified that Harding received “blunt force” blows to the lips and chest. Salcedo also indicated that the deputy presented a “mixed emotional state [fear, anger, surprise]”. In the complaint Thursday, May 14, Salazar claims that Salcedo did not say what Harding indicates. Roniel Ortiz, Salazar's lawyer, and part of Ricardo Martinelli’s high priced legal team adds that the doctor is not an expert. The new action was presented in the Supreme, by Salazar and his team of lawyers: Ortiz, Jessica Canto, Shirley Castañeda ... all lawyers of former President Ricardo Martinelli in the so-called “punctures” case. Salazar and Harding have exchanged complaints since on April 21, at a meeting of the PRD caucus in the National Assembly, the deputy launched a bottle of water - which, according to him, was addressed to his colleague Mariano López- which ended up hitting Harding in the face. The first to sue was Harding, for alleged gender violence. Salazar then proceeded against her partner, for alleged slander and simulation of a punishable act. This week, Harding filed a new complaint against Salazar, also for the same crime, to which I attach as evidence the report of Salcedo, the Assembly physician.

Harding filed two complaints against Salazar for the alleged commission of the crimes of gender violence and personal injury. Both are in the office of magistrate Olmedo Arrocha, who must prepare a ruling on the admission or rejection of the complaints. Salazar, in turn, filed two complaints against his partner for the alleged commission of the crimes of simulation of a punishable act in judicial matters and slander. Both were in the hands of magistrate Cecilio Cedalise. The plenary of the Court has not yet made any decision regarding the projects that both magistrates have presented to it. Failing that, he has asked to reform them to discuss them again. While in the Committee on Credentials of the Assembly, the investigation is not progressing either. A day after the incident, the President of the Assembly, Marcos Castillero, asked the Commission, based on Article 51 of the Internal Regulations, to initiate an investigation. But the Commission has not met to analyze the case nor does it have it on the agenda. Sources linked to that legislative instance, which is led by the PRD member Roberto Ábrego, said that they prefer that the issue continue its course in the Court and not within the Assembly. At the end of April, Ábrego told this newspaper that before calling a session, the members of the Credentials Committee would analyze whether or not they had competence to investigate what had happened among their colleagues. https://www.prensa.com/impresa/panorama/harding-salazar-y-lopez-ignoran-peticion-del-fiscal-del-prd-sobre-incidente-en-la-an/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Moderator_02 Posted September 21, 2020 Author Moderators Share Posted September 21, 2020 Quote Court rejects recusal move by deputy’s lawyer Deputy Jairo Salazar Posted 20/09/2020 A challenge presented by the PRD deputy Zulay Rodríguez, as a lawyer for her colleague Jairo Salazar, against magistrate Ángela Russo has been rejected by a plenary session of the Supreme Court The case is related to the complaint filed by the director of the National Police, Jorge Miranda, against Deputy Salazar, after an incident in November 2019 in the Altos de Los Lagos sector, Colón, with several police agents. Salazar, seen as a loose cannon by many Assembly watchers is facing numerous charges. The complaint, along with another also filed by the Police, was admitted by the Court, and Judge Russo was appointed as a prosecutor. José Ayú s acts as Judge of Guarantees. The challenge presented by Rodríguez, who appears as Salazar's substitute lawyer, was based on the fact that she raised serious questions about Russo's appointment as a magistrate of the Supreme Court in December 2015. In the Assembly, Rodríguez voted against ratification. The Court is still processing two other complaints against Salazar, both presented by the PRD deputy, Kayra Harding , who accuses him of alleged gender violence. These complaints are in the office of Judge Olmedo Arrocha. Harding alleged that at a bench meeting, Salazar threw a bottle of water at her that hit her in the face and chest. Harding summoned 13 deputies from the PRD and the Nationalist Republican Liberal Movement (Molirena), who were witnesses to the events, which occurred in an Assembly hall. https://www.newsroompanama.com/news/court-rejects-recusal-move-by-deputys-lawyer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
