Pedro Cruz said that the properties do not belong to the former president of the Legislative Assembly but to other people and companies.
For the defense lawyer of the former president of the Legislative Assembly Sigfrido Reyes, Pedro Cruz, the fact by the Attorney General’s Office to confiscate properties linked to the former official “is a media show, there is nothing new in the case.
This Wednesday, the Public Ministry proceeded to confiscate 11 alleged properties from Sigfrido Reyes through a domain extinction procedure.
“The properties he showed on video and photographs that day are not properties of Mr. Sigfrid Reis, erroneously and maliciously have related that they are properties belonging to former deputy Sigfrido Reyes,” the lawyer told El Diari d’Avui.
According to Cruz, this is a “refrain of precautionary measures” in a process of extinction of dominance that the Prosecutor’s Office requested last year.
“It’s the same process, same case, it’s not new, what happened today (yesterday) is that the court has ratified these precautionary measures to be extended for a longer period, these measures are temporary, they are provisional and on the same we already filed an appeal six months ago and what is being resolved, ”he explained.
According to Reyes’ defense lawyer, the ex-official’s defense is working hard to win the lawsuits in the courts, and he said, “It’s not with sensationalist videos and photographs and statements like the ones the prosecution made today that they win the processes “.
He added that according to the evidence presented to the court there is no wrongdoing committed by Sigfrido Reyes and all the properties that have been mentioned by the Prosecutor’s Office are properties that belong to a dozen people and companies.
