In his opinion space in Los Danieles, the journalist quotes a statement by the lawyer Iván Cancino, who in El Heraldo said last April 22 that the diligence, in which charges will be imputed to his defendant and the measure of assurance will be requested against him, it must be changed because said audience is summoned to be done in person, something that, according to Cancino, is “absolutely impossible” due to the quarantine who rules in the country and because Cadena is in Cali and cannot travel to Bogotá to appear.
To this is added, continues Daniel Coronell, a “theory” that Cancino “has been setting in social networks -and in a recently created union of lawyers-” and with which It would seek that the evidence against his client, for allegedly paying bribes to benefit Álvaro Uribe, be declared illegal.
As attorney for the former president, Cadena was protected by his right to defense and professional secrecy, reason why the Supreme Court could not order the recordings that they would become the mentioned tests, says the columnist when explaining the supposed thesis of Cancino.
However, “Diego Cadena was never credited as Álvaro Uribe’s attorney before the Supreme Court” Coronell points out, and contributes in his column an audio in which the self-styled “abohámster” admits not having filed the aforementioned power before that Court, even when he tried to act as attorney for the senator before that instance.
The power, recalls the journalist, was granted to Cadena until April 2018, but before that date, the lawyer admits in another audio published by the columnist, the then-defender of Uribe had already been taking steps on behalf of the leader of the Democratic Center.
“That is to say that the novel thesis of Cancino would pretend that the power not presented is considered valid and also retroactive,” Coronell questions in his opinion article.
The columnist points out that in the process being carried out by the Supreme Court against former President Uribe, for alleged bribery and procedural fraud, the only lawyers accredited before that Court are Jaime Granados, Juan Felipe Amaya and David Espinosa.
And on the latter, Daniel Coronell predicts:
“In the long term, and inexorably, Diego Cadena will be the scapegoat for this matter. The only thing they are doing is lengthening that period in the hope of bogging down the process. ”
It should be remembered that the hearing for the imputation of charges to which, at the request of the Prosecutor’s Office, Diego Cadena must attend on April 28, was rescheduled for that date on February 18, this after the lawyer did not attend that day at the first appointment after presenting a medical excuse for diarrhea and gastroenteritis.
