The First Appeals Chamber modified the crime of six people prosecuted within the Toma Usac: Political Loot case to a more serious one and with more years in prison as a sentence, so Judge Víctor Cruz must comply with the instruction and make the modifications within the process, judicial sources reported this Friday, February 16.
These are Eduardo Antonio Velásquez Carrera, Andrea Marcela Blanco Fuentes, Javier Alfonso de León Gómez, Alfredo Enrique Beber Aceituno, Rodolfo Chang Shum and Martin Jorge Macario, who were linked to criminal proceedings for the crimes of usurpation and depredation of cultural property by the Judge Víctor Cruz, who also benefited them with house arrest on November 25, 2023.
The appeal was presented by the Public Ministry (MP) and the Chamber granted the appeal.
The resolution indicates that the judge must continue with the process, but with the modification of the crime of usurpation to aggravated usurpation.
The Penal Code establishes in article 256 that for the crime of usurpation the penalty is 1 to 3 years in prison, while for aggravated usurpation, article 257 establishes that the penalty is 2 to 6 years in prison.
The defendants were captured following a series of raids and currently enjoy alternative measures, including house arrest.
The appeals chamber also confirmed that they must continue with the same measures filed by the judge.
This group of six people are part of the judicial file of the Toma Usac: Political Loot case.
They are accused by the MP of being responsible for the seizure of the facilities of the University of San Carlos (Usac), a fact that is attributed to supposedly taking a political position because several of the accused belong or were part of some political group that He participated in the 2023 elections.
Currently, another group made up of eight accused is facing a first statement hearing before Judge Víctor Cruz, for whom the judge has revoked the arrest warrant and ordered to summon them.
