The Minister of the Presidency, María Nela Prada, informed on Wednesday the results of the Commission for the Review of Rape and Feminicide Cases. She highlights the recapture of 10 people who were sentenced for femicide or rape and 9 judges who were engaged in issuing favorable court rulings to convicted criminals were prosecuted.
"What is unfortunately happening, which is public knowledge and that fundamentally the victims suffer them, is this cover-up by bad judges, this criminal behavior by bad judges. And unfortunately there are other judges who also cover up, when what corresponds and what the Bolivian people are demanding from public servants is precisely that they act within the framework of justice", said Prado.
In this period, 10 convicts who were "illegally" benefited by "bad judges" were recaptured: two for femicide, two for rape and six for murder of a woman or child before the classification of femicide. Among them are Richard Choque and Abram Peters Dick.
9 judges have been indicted; 4 of them are under arrest, 1 is under house arrest and 4 are in the investigative stage.9 judges have been indicted; 4 of them are under arrest, 1 is under house arrest and 4 are in the investigative stage.
