Political analyst Jay Fonseca, spoke this afternoon about the arrest of producer Sixto George and the accusations that he had made against the lawyer for alleged defamation.
Fonseca referred to the lawsuit that Sixto George made against him and said that at that time “many tried to throw mud at investigative journalism,” when many of the expressions he now accused by the federals categorized as defamation go be highlighted in the indictment.
“I’m going to ask the FBI to continue this investigation and to get out the subjects that the indictment allegedly says (…) because according to this statement, Sixto George was looking for money to pay certain people to have sex with him. public media and networks while suing, investigative journalism was defamed, “he continued.
Fonseca said that today he embraced the first amendment that protects freedom of expression and freedom of the press, “but it is even more important that all the media do not unite in this cause (…) take into account the strategies that they are made against investigative journalism to silence voices “.
According to the analyst, these demands “are not a personal struggle” but an important cause “for the people to see who is telling them the truth.”
Sixto George faces a $ 15,000 bail after he was arrested today by federal authorities for allegedly trying to extort then-Governor Ricardo Roussillon.
The indictment reading hearing will be held next February 9 a la 13:30 h
In publications made by George on January 19, he blamed analyst Jay Fonseca for the action of the federal authorities to confiscate cell phones, as happened to him in July 2019.
