15/6/2023
The widow of the Paraguayan prosecutor murdered in Colombia a year ago, Claudia Aguilera, announced in a statement that she will not return to Bogotá, despite the condition that the Court imposed on her to attend the trial in person.
“I do not want and I am not going to return to Colombia, the place where my husband was killed, and where my son and I might have died”, expressed in a statement Aguilera, widow of the anti-drug prosecutor Marcelo Pecci, victim of an attack perpetrated on May 10, 2022 on a beach in Cartagena de Indias when she was enjoying her honeymoon.
Aguilera said that the Colombian Court ordered her to travel to the place of the trial and deprive her of following the incidents electronically as she had been doing.
In her statement released this Thursday, June 15, the woman maintained that she is not in a position to pay for her attorney’s trip either. “It is not fair that we cannot be aware of this trial live and direct, as we have done so far”, manifested.
Aguilera made a call “to all international human rights organizations to take action and allow us to continue witnessing this trial from my country, live and direct, as is our right”.
The widow praised the work of the Colombian Attorney General’s Office “so that the investigation has been carried out in a very professional manner.” and regretted the conditioning imposed on him by the Court because he said that “it seriously affects my rights to truth, justice, reparation and non-repetition.”
His statements coincide with the start of an oral trial once morest Margareth Lizeth Chacón Zúñiga, accused of having ordered the crime and who is expected to provide clues to a possible mastermind in Paraguay, in exchange for a reduced sentence.
The masterminds of the prosecutor’s murder
The Colombian Justice sentenced the brothers Ramón and Andrés Pérez Hoyos to 25 years in prison, considered guilty of intellectually orchestrating and financing the murder of Pecci.
The Pérez Hoyos brothers, who already acknowledged in mid-April having participated in the crime, had been accused of planning, paying and hiring the perpetrators of the murder of Pecci on the Barú islands., near the Colombian city of Cartagena, according to RCN Radio.
The investigations of the Colombian Justice have determined that Ramón and Andrés Pérez Hoyos were in charge of the logistical part and supplied the money to Francisco Luis Correa, who is indicated by the Prosecutor’s Office as the main person responsible for the murder of the prosecutor Pecci.
Five other people have been arrested in recent months, four of them already sentenced to 23-year prison terms for the death of the prosecutor.
