Salvador Rodríguez - Seeking An Injunction To Obtain Freedom

(Panama-Guide) By Abdiel Augusto Patino for La Estrella - Victor Almengor, the defense lawyer representing former Education Minister Salvador Rodríguez, said he waiting for the Supreme Court to authorize the release of his client, who remains in custody in temporary holding cell of the Directorate of Judicial Investigation ( DIJ). According to Almengor, Rodriguez has every right to be released and to have preventative arrest be replaced by a less strict measures such as house arrest, a prevention from leaving the country, or having to appear at regular intervals before the prosecutor, because there is a recent precedent, when the Supreme Court authorized precautionary measures on behalf of former Minister of Education Belgis Castro, in determining that the offense for which he is being investigated did not require detention.
