The judge of La Rioja, Norma Abate de Mazzucchelli (71), who would have been caught red-handed, when she requested a bribe of eight million pesos, presented her resignation from the position of president of the Fourth Chamber in Civil, Commercial and Civil Matters. Minas de that province, although the Superior Court of Justice of Rioja did not accept it, it suspended her preventively from her position and opened a summary against her. Thus, the case is sent to a trial jury.
Apparently, the amount of money was to release, expressly, a large sum of money from an inheritance, for a man who died four years ago.

Judge Abate de Mazzuchelli, accused of asking for bribes to resolve different cases, is attacking the trust of the Riojan people in Justice; For this reason, she requested the removal of her position and the investigation of this situation.”
Among the evidence that emerged, is the victim’s statement and a video obtained from a hidden camera of how the magistrate asks her for the money. “It is simple. Nobody is going to put a gun to your chest here. “So how much can you pay me?” she asked him.
