Siegfried Reyes’s lawyer says confiscation of property is a “show” by the Prosecutor’s Office

Pedro Cruz said that the properties do not belong to the former president of the Legislative Assembly, but to other people and companies.

For the defense lawyer of the former president of the Legislative Assembly Sigfrido Reyes, Pedro Cruz, what the General Prosecutor’s Office did when confiscating the properties related to the former official “is a media show, there is nothing new in this case.

On Wednesday, the Public Ministry confiscated 11 alleged properties from Siegfried Reyes through a property extinction procedure.

“The properties he showed that day in the videos and photos are not the property of Mr Sigfrido Reyes, they erroneously and maliciously reported that they are the property of former MP Sigfrido Reyes,” the lawyer told El Diario de Hoy.

According to Cruz, this is a “rescheduling of precautionary measures” in a process of extinguishing the property right that the Prosecutor’s Office requested last year.

“It’s the same process, the same case, it’s not new, what happened today (yesterday) is that the court ratified these preventive measures so that they are extended for a longer period, these measures are temporary, they are temporary and the same already I filed an appeal six months ago and what is being resolved “, he explained.

According to Reyes’s defense lawyer, the former official’s defense is working hard to win the court proceedings and said that “the procedure is not won with videos and photos and sensational statements like those made today by the Prosecutor’s Office. “

Cruz added that, according to the evidence presented to the court, there is no crime committed by Siegfried Reyes and all the properties that were mentioned by the Prosecutor’s Office are properties that belong to a dozen people and companies.
