Preliminary Hearing for Aldesa Case to Start Thursday Amid Procedural Objection

The preliminary hearing for the "Caso Aldesa" is slated to commence this Thursday, marking a significant step in the legal proceedings. However, the exact timing of the hearing remains uncertain, pending the resolution of a procedural objection raised by a lawyer.

This lawyer has formally objected to the case being discussed during afternoon sessions. The court must now rule on this objection, and its outcome will determine whether the preliminary hearing proceeds as planned in the afternoon or if alternative arrangements must be made. This legal maneuver could potentially delay the start of the proceedings.

The "Caso Aldesa" revolves around allegations of fraud. Aldesa's offices, located in Curridabat, were previously subjected to a raid on June 10, 2019. This action was part of an ongoing investigation into the alleged fraudulent activities linked to the company. The preliminary hearing is expected to address initial legal arguments and evidence presented by both the prosecution and the defense.
