Prosecutor Denies CONMEBOL Orders in Banco Atlas Case Amidst Document Leak

The recent revelations from ABC Color paint a deeply concerning picture of how the Public Ministry may have been compromised in its handling of the case against Banco Atlas. It appears that crucial legal directives and interpretations, rather than originating from within the prosecution's office, were dictated by an external party, CONMEBOL's lawyer Claudio Lovera.

“

Nunca recibí ninguna indicación. Sí recibo a los profesionales siempre, tanto denunciantes como defensores.

Fiscal Francisco Cabrera has denied receiving direct orders, stating that his office is always open to professionals and that recommendations for investigations are common. However, the digital evidence, including metadata from case files, suggests a more direct and influential role for Lovera, particularly in shaping the legal arguments presented by former fiscal Liliana Alcaraz, now a minister at SEPRELAD.

Pero la dirección de la investigación lo lleva a cabo el Ministerio Público.

This situation raises serious questions about the independence and integrity of the judicial process. The implication that the prosecutor's office might have acted as a mere "processing office" for CONMEBOL's agenda is alarming. While Cabrera maintains that he personally did not receive any emails or documents directly from Lovera, the evidence points to a coordinated effort where CONMEBOL's legal counsel significantly influenced the direction of the investigation against Banco Atlas, a part of Grupo ABC.

Pero en lo que respecta a mi persona, nunca he recibido ningún correo ni documento al respecto.
