Pared wants SCJ to get tougher

[NewsWhore]

Senate leader Reinaldo Pared Perez is asking the Supreme Court (SCJ) to be more demanding and critical in order to prevent so many corruption cases from being dismissed without prejudice by irresponsible magistrates who are allegedly being paid off. Pared Perez told Hoy reporters that he favors chief justice Jorge Subero Isa's stance that the entire Justice Department would benefit from the "wave of reforms" currently in vogue. His comments came after the head of the Department for the Prevention of Corruption (DEPRECO), Octavio Lister, said he would resign in reaction to his office's failure to obtain convictions in the courts. The Senate leader said that faith in the justice system leads to a peaceful society. Pared was particularly incensed at the outcome of the Plan Renove case. The legislator has asked the SCJ to investigate the magistrates who issued the latest verdict, which is being appealed.
