On May 27, the former president of the Legislative Assembly, Othon Sigfrido Reyes Morales, will face a preliminary hearing for the crime of money laundering and assets, valued at $5.4 million dollars.
The judge in charge of the case has notified that she has tried to obtain information about the whereabouts of Sigfrido Reyes without success to date, so he is being prosecuted in absentia.
Reyes is accused of crimes that include aggravated fraud, embezzlement, money and asset laundering, for the alleged appropriation of $106,000 through the collection of travel expenses for 56 official trips and missions, along with the fraud of five plots of land from the Social Security Institute of the Armed Force during its legislative period between 2006 and 2019.
It is noted that during the period between 2011 and 2015, various legal entities were used to legitimize the acquired funds. In the judicial process, in addition to the Reyes brothers, several other individuals are involved, including employees of the Court of Accounts and the Social Security Institute of the Armed Forces.
