Embedded Files
6 May 2006
Whilst this is a step in the right direction we still await Justice! Progress on the criminal investigation is unacceptably slow despite numerous promises by the Office of the Attorney Generals Office that matters would be resolved by the end of last year.
How much longer do we have to wait?
Justice for Kirsty is long overdue!
The Office of Public Affairs for the Federal Government of México have advised our lawyer that Emilio Cortez Ramirez, the Federal Prosecutor in Cozumel who Jean and the Campaign team filed new evidence with during the visit in March 2004 has been found liable for breach of authority for failure to register our appeal and the proceedings as formal criminal investigations.
The office of the Attorney General has been ordered to apply administrative penalties and fine the prosecutor who we understand has been removed from his former post.
Whilst this ruling may not have a direct impact on the outcome of the ongoing criminal investigations it does confirm that this Federal Prosecutor did not follow correct procedures, acted improperly and impeded our lawyer.
This is a direct result of the complaints filed by Jean and Louis with our lawyer and Fred Shortland at the Office of the Attorney General on their last visit to México in June 2005.
This ruling strengthens our position with regard to other outstanding issues before the Office of the Attorney General that have still not been resolved and should the case be filed with the Inter American Commission of Human Rights the negligence of the prosecutor has been clearly confirmed.
