Notable cases
Some of the proceedings we have taken on.
These are only some of the several matters of high complexity and public exposure in which we have been involved.
01 Sinohydro Case Bribery
One of the largest corruption proceedings investigated in the country. The inquiry centred on the contracting of the Coca Codo Sinclair hydroelectric project and on an alleged structure said to have operated for nearly a decade, with payments that —according to the prosecution theory— would have reached around 4% of the contracted value, channelled through third parties by means of purported consultancy and representation services.
A matter of this nature requires the analysis of thousands of pages, documentary, accounting and financial evidence, technical expert reports and international criminal assistance. Our involvement focused on the technical defense and on building a theory of the case capable of withstanding every procedural stage, handled discreetly amid constant media coverage.
02 Las Torres Case Organised crime
Investigation into the alleged formation of an organised structure made up of public officials and private individuals, aimed at committing offenses against public safety and the efficiency of public administration. The case relied on special investigative techniques and international criminal assistance.
The prosecution theory concerned improper payments demanded in exchange for the dismissal of audit findings and the processing of invoices relating to contracts in the hydrocarbons sector. Defending this type of matter demands a precise command of the offense of organisation, of the rules on perpetration and participation, and of evidence obtained through international cooperation.
03 Nene Case Offer of trading in influence
Proceeding brought following a complaint alleging acts of corruption relating to the offer of a public post in exchange for a percentage of the monthly salary. Given the standing of those involved, the investigation reached the privileged jurisdiction of the National Court of Justice.
This is a matter of high institutional and political sensitivity, in which technical rigour and communicational prudence are as decisive as the procedural strategy. Our involvement focused on analysing whether the conduct met the elements of the offense and on precisely delimiting the participation attributed.
04 Zoila Suárez Case Extrajudicial execution
A proceeding of wide public repercussion, still ongoing after several years of litigation, examining the conduct of police officers who took part in an operation. The firm assumed the technical defense of a General of the National Police, whose presumption of innocence remains fully intact.
Defending a senior police commander requires drawing a precise line between the lawful exercise of public duties and criminally relevant conduct: the analysis of the objective duty of care, the chain of command and the position of guarantor is decisive. Faced with sustained media pressure, our work rests on doctrinal rigour, expert evidence and the unwavering defense of due process.
