On the afternoon of this Wednesday, March 29, when the month of women is about to end, the scheduled hearing was brought forward in Brazil’s Supreme Court in which the situation of Jaime Saade Cormane, the man, was once again exposed before magistrates. convicted in Colombia for the death of Nancy Mariana Mestre from Barranquilla, which took place in this city in January 1994.
In dialogue with EL HERALDO, Martín Mestre Yunez, father of the deceased young woman and who traveled to Brasilia, Brazil’s federal capital, stated that the proceedings lasted just over an hour and were presided over by 11 magistrates.
In this sense, Mestre added that for this Thursday, March 30, the vote of the togados is scheduled to see if the man sentenced by the justice of this country as an absentee prisoner will be extradited to Colombia, after his disappearance since that month . from January. , after the murder of Nancy Mariana.
Days ago, Mestre Yunez had said this was “the last chance for Jaime Saade Cormane to be extradited”, who had since been interned in Brazil.
It should be noted that in October of the previous year, the defense of the Mestre family, supported by lawyers from the US and Brazil, appealed to the court of the South American country to revoke the sentence that denied Saade’s extradition .
But before a new request, it was learned that the court agreed to study the request, since the decision was based on the statute of limitations, in Brazil, of the conviction against Saade in 1996, but did not take into account Colombian law, nationality from which he is accused and where he committed the crime. Another reason for the refusal of extradition was the deadlock of the magistrates of Brazil’s Federal Supreme Court in October 2020.
Jaime Saade Cormane, from Barranquilla, has been detained in Brazil since his arrest in early 2020, when Interpol identified him from a print he left on a glass he used in a public place. It was an operation like a movie. Saade had been on the run for more than two decades and had assumed a new identity in the South American giant: posing as a doctor named Henrique Dos Santos Abdala, married with two children.
