Archivo Luis Cucalón no pudo salir del Centro Penitenciario El Renacer después de que el Tribunal Superior de Apelaciones del Primer Circuito Judicial confirmara este lunes una decisión del juez de garantías Roberto Sánchez que le concedió depósito domiciliario por tres meses, luego de que se comprobara que sufre de una enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica que requiere atención médica permanente. Resulta que el exjefe de la Dirección General de Ingresos debe hacerle frente a un caso distinto por el que fue condenado por peculado y corrupción tras el cobro de impuestos de manera irregular a través de la empresa Cobranzas del Istmo S.A. Se trata de una pesquisa de octubre de 2018 que está a cargo de la Fiscalía Séptima Anticorrupción, en la que se acusa a Cucalón de la presunta comisión del delito de blanqueo de capitales, derivado del caso de Cobranzas del Istmo. El proceso está en manos de la fiscal Leyda Sáenz. Por eso, los abogados Ángel Calderón y Carlos Carrillo, quienes defienden al exfuncionario, recurrieron ayer a la Corte Suprema de Justicia para presentar un habeas corpus contra la orden de detención expedida por la fiscalía contra Cucalón. En el recurso, Calderón y Carrillo le pidieron a la Corte que beneficie a su cliente con una medida de depósito domiciliario por este caso. La condena Cucalón fue condenado según sentencia del 19 de abril de 2018 a 96 meses de prisión por los delitos de peculado y corrupción de servidores públicos, y a la devolución de $6.1 millones. Se le responsabilizó del cobro irregular de impuestos a través de Cobranzas del Istmo. Una auditoria de la Contraloría General de la República advirtió una posible lesión patrimonial de $29.5 millones en este caso. Durante la audiencia celebrada el pasado lunes, e l Tribunal Superior de Apelaciones del Primer Distrito Judicial concluyó que el depósito domiciliario es congruente con las recomendaciones de organismos de derechos humanos que han pedido que, ante la pandemia de la Covid-19, los privados de libertad con enfermedades crónicas sean beneficiados con medidas de este tipo, entre otros aspectos, para evitar los contagios.

Cucaclón cumple una condena de 96 meses de prisión por el delito de peculado y a quien además se le han imputado cargos por blanqueo de capitales de fondos manejados a través de la empresa Cobranzas del Istmo. La pasada semana el Tribunal Superior de Apelaciones confirmó a Cucalón el beneficiado de depósito domiciliario por un término de tres meses, pero poco antes de ser liberado el Ministerio Público notificó a la Dirección de Sistema Penitenciario que el detenido mantenía vigente una orden de arresto expedida en 2018 por delito de blanqueo de capitales. Ayú Prado deberá resolver un recurso de habeas corpus presentado por Carlos Carrillo y Ángel Calderón, abogados de Cucalón, contra esta orden de la fiscalía. Carrillo y Calderón alegan que nunca fueron notificados de esta orden de arresto contra Cucalón y que además la fiscalía no tiene a sus órdenes a su cliente, ya que el Juzgado Segundo Penal, en donde está radicado el proceso por blanqueo de capitales, se encuentra resolviendo varios recursos de nulidad, por lo que la fiscalía no podría realizar ninguna actuación en este momento.

Cucaclón is serving a 96-month prison sentence for the crime of embezzlement and who has also been charged with money laundering of funds managed through the company Cobranzas del Istmo.
