The Attorney General’s Office assures, according to the radio, that this made Arias was imposed “an unjustified greater penalty.”
However, the Public Ministry considers that the former official is guilty of the crimes of entering into contracts without complying with the legal requirements and embezzlement by appropriation in favor of third parties.
