A judge in the second instance upheld the decision that in the first instance declared illegal the recapture of Lina Jiménez, one of the seven people involved in the attack in the shopping center in Bogotá.
A judge in the second instance upheld the decision that in the first instance declared the recapture illegal and ordered the immediate release of Lina Jiménez, one of the nine people involved in the attack on the Andino Shopping Center, in June 2017.
What happened is that on October 14, Judge 61 for the control of guarantees ordered his release due to expiration of terms. Two days later, after delays in the procedures and after leaving the Picaleña prison, in Ibagué, she was recaptured by judicial agents of the Sijín, who were in civilian clothes, and they transferred her in a vehicle to the URI of the Prosecutor’s Office in that city.
The recapture was due to an accusation for the crime of rebellion, but the judge stressed that the new order was notified without the presence of defense lawyers and in the case of the five people who were previously released, due process was violated since prevented them from speaking to their defenders.
“After three certificates of freedom I am finally out and I still believe that love is the flag of life, it keeps us alive and that after four years it has us here. There are still many missing, Iván is missing and he knows that in the latter there is always hope, ”said Jiménez upon his release from prison.
Of those involved, the only one who has not regained his freedom is Iván Ramírez, identified by the alias of “Taliban”, whom they accuse of having transported the explosives to the place of the last attack. Like Jiménez, he was recaptured after a judge ordered his release, so he is awaiting a hearing.
Although Jiménez is released, the judge indicated that she will continue to be linked to the investigation together with Boris Ernesto Rojas Quijano, Lizeth Johana Rodríguez Zárate, Andrés Mauricio Bohórquez Florez, Alejandro Méndez Molano, Natalia Trujillo Novoa, César Andrés Barrera Téllez and Juan Camilo Pulido Rivera, to whom the Prosecutor’s Office indicates to be part of the Revolutionary Movement of the People (MRP) and to participate in the attack in the Andino Commercial Center.
Despite multiple attempts by the Prosecutor’s Office to keep them in jail, during the course of this year those involved have been released after more than 500 days have elapsed without the trials being started.
The attack in the Shopping Center occurred on June 17, 2017. A device exploded in one of the women’s bathrooms on the second floor, causing the death of three women, one of them French, and leaving nine people injured.
