“There will be justice if Saade is imprisoned in Colombia”

The lawyer of the Mestre family also referred to the trial being carried out in the Supreme Court of Barranquilla, specifically in the criminal chamber, on the statute of limitations of Saade Cormane’s sentence for the murder of the young woman.

This same unit was already studying a rescheduling of the sentence a few years ago and it was granted by reducing the prison sentence from 27 years to 24 years for the crime, and today the representative of Saade Cormane, the former magistrate of the Supreme Court Justice Alfredo Gómez Quintero has been demanding since March this year that his client not pay jail time.

“The ruling is expected to conflict with the claims of Jaime Saade’s defense. It should be remembered that in this case of Nancy Mestre an ineffable line is used, since it is a universal fact, like femicide, ”said Raúl Romero.

It should be remembered that in mid-May the lawyer before Martin Mestre Yunez, father of the victim, filed a challenge request against Jorge Eliecer Mola Caperamagistrate of the criminal chamber of the Supreme Court of Barranquilla who, as a speaker, has expressed “interest” in the case of prescription of Saade Cormane’s sentence.

Romero del Río indicated that Mola Capera should deviate from said action, as the magistrate initially appears as his counterpart in a criminal investigation in which he was charged in January of this 2023 with alleged unlawful statements that resulted in the possible commission of acts of corruption , with the crimes of prevaricato by action and procedural fraud.

In addition, there is an open trial under another in the 11th prosecutor’s office delegated to the Supreme Court, in which Mola Capera also appears as a defendant and Romero del Río as a lawyer for victims. This process is in the pilot phase.

And furthermore, in March 2020, a magistrate of the Bogotá Supreme Court asked the Attorney General’s Office to protect the victims of Barranquilla’s Supreme Court magistrate, Jorge Eliécer Mola Capera, for threats that they had denounced received in the development of this case.

On the other hand, EL HERALDO learned that Mola Capera’s position had led to a conflict between magistrates of the Barranquilla Court after the decision to declare itself unimpeded in the Saade trial. The latter had presented a document favorable to the convict’s interests, but the other roommates did not accept it and defeated it.

Now the case of Jaime Saade I would go to a mixed chamber of the same court.
