The extradition request of the two gangs, Rodríguez and Armando Eliú Melgar Díaz, called “Blue” or “Cliper” was discussed at the Plenary Session on June 10 but due to allegations by several magistrates that Insane asylum “committed the crime in the United States as a minor and was at risk of being tried as an adult in that country.
The position of the magistrates on this point arose although in this session a diplomatic note from the United States was read in which they pledge not to execute an order as a death sentence if given by a judge against this brigand.
In this session it was understood that the resolution would be better based in the case of “Manicomi”, this motivated by the magistrate imposed by the Bukele regime, José Ángel Pérez Chacón. In fact, it was he who was responsible for making “aggregates” to the draft resolution, as confirmed by López Jerez in El Diari d’Avui.
This dilation of the Court to resolve these cases has targeted the judges of the Supreme Court of Justice, especially the magistrates imposed by Bukele in the Supreme Court. The decision to deny one of the brigands requested by the US judiciary coincides with reports to the Bukele government that it has negotiated with the three main gangs operating in the country, according to an investigation by the digital newspaper El Far published last Monday.

The magistrate imposed by the bureaucracy, Pérez Chacón, even wanted to reverse the vote that was held on June 10 that endorsed the extradition of the other member of a band, “Blue”, who fled to the Salvador after brutally attacking a compatriot and has since been sued by an East Virginia court.
Pérez Chacón, who worked as a legal adviser to the Bukele Presidency, according to the minutes of this session, argued that “there is no discussion in the draft of these issues on direct application of the Constitution and in the light of the cited international conventions, for which he proposed “reconsidering the previous decision (vote against” Bue “) and working on a greater basis on the possibility of exercising constitutional review of the conventions.”
In fact the case of “Bue” has been put on hold. Magistrate López Jerez told El Diari d’Avui that yesterday they failed to see this issue but that they will probably include it in the Tall Plana agenda this Thursday.
