The Rioja. The justice of the province of La Rioja opened an internal investigation in recent weeks against the Criminal and Correctional Investigation Judge No. 2 of Chilecito, Virginia Illanes Bordón. The provincial prosecutor Diego Torres Pagnussat promoted criminal action for the crimes of passive bribery, malfeasance and fraud.
This is the second provincial magistrate denounced in recent days. The previous one had been Norma Abate de Mazzucchelli, accused of requesting a bribe of 8 million pesos to unblock a succession, a complaint for which the Provincial Judicial Council launched the impeachment trial.
In the case of Illanes Bordón, the judge is accused of having collected money from people who had criminal cases. “Unlike the Mazzuchelli case, here the sum of money was received, it is a serious crime,” said lawyer David Calipo, who filed the complaint.
And he expanded: “One of the cases that I reported has to do with a well-known businessman from the city of Chilecito, where the Public Prosecutor’s Minister asks that progress be made based on an accusation of attempted homicide and she prosecutes him for a lesser crime. serious, and he ends up being granted freedom, and later he is the one who reports that the doctor stopped by his home to withdraw a sum of money.”
“They are dirtying the name of the judicial function. (…) One of the complaints is dated October of last year, there are 97 certified captures of conversations between the magistrate and one of the people, documentary evidence, proof of bank transfer,” said the lawyer on radio Fénix.
The complaining lawyer also indicated that two people from the magistrate’s inner circle showed up to testify and said “terrible things”: “She used the police function to have her house cleaned, her cell phones to have debris removed from her house. .. What needs to be done to make institutions work? The complaints are presented to the Judicial Council. The judge’s cases are prescribed, certain files are lost, she has left society without justice. They are sufficient cause for her removal from office,” he concluded.
