The information was confirmed by Caracol Radio, in the program of ‘La Luciérnaga’ this Wednesday, and said that the permit is already approved and that former minister Arias may leave for a period of 72 hours to comply with the procedures that he presented before the courts.
Although it is not clear what the arguments that Andrés Felipe Arias presented to seek this permit, Semana had said that, according to the lawyer Jorge Aníbal Gómez, this “benefit is granted to study or work, and is granted for 72 hours per month”.
El Tiempo reported that the former government official of former President Álvaro Uribe “I would already be legally entitled” to this permission, because he said that of the 17 years and four months in prison to which he was sentenced by the Supreme Court of Justice, he has already “served” a part between what he was detained in the United States and the time he has been deprived of his liberty In colombia.
Does Andrés Felipe Arias have the right to get out of prison for 72 hours?
This authorization for temporary release from prison applies to sentenced persons who have served a third of the sentence imposed, who show good behavior and who do not have a risk of flight over their process.
However, it must be clarified that the same Supreme Court warned that it will not deduct Arias that time of 10 months that he was detained on bail in the United States, with the argument that two different figures should be considered since it cannot be equip with a house arrest, so the debate now is about whether the defendant had time to access that benefit.
“The general particularities of home detention contrasted with those that international doctrine attributes to bail, indicate that they are dissimilar legal figures”, Explained the Court, a decision that was cited by RCN Radio on October 27.
This was the explanation that Semana gave about the permission that Arias was seeking, convicted of the corruption scandal of the Agro Ingreso Seguro (AIS) program, and that it was finally granted.
