Caja-Fischel Trial In Last Stage
September 22nd, 2009 | by admin |The Caja-Fischel trial may come to a close today, Monday, as defence lawyers will end their summations and give the last word to the Ficales (prosecutors).
The rules of the court could also allow Walter Reiche and Randall Vargas, two of the eight accused and the only to give testimony in the trial, to address the three judges before they retire to consider the case and hand down a decision.
The Caja-Fischel case also involves Costa Rica’s former president, Rafael Angel Calderón, who is also the current presidential candidate for the PUSC party in the 2010 elections, accused of embezzlement and fruad.
The trial has been running since last year and had expected to have ended by now.
