In the Full Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice (TSJ), with a presentation by Judge Maikel Moreno, the prosecution of citizen Juan Carlos Requesens Martínez was declared appropriate, after determining that there are sufficient elements of conviction to estimate the commission of crimes of a permanent nature.
This decision is based on the fact that the Supreme Court in its judgment decrees that his detention is flagrant and that it is ordered to be kept in custody by the State security bodies, until the National Constituent Assembly decides on the lifting of his parliamentary immunity.
Likewise, it is ordered to notify this decision to the National Constituent Assembly, in accordance with the provisions of Article 234 of the Organic Code of Criminal Procedure and 116 of the Organic Law of the Supreme Court of Justice.
According to the judgment, being that these are common crimes, the prosecution of said citizen must be done before the competent ordinary courts, according to the provisions of article 378 of the Organic Code of Criminal Procedure, in accordance with decision No. 1684 of 4 November 2008, dictated by the Constitutional Chamber of the TSJ.
Also, it is ordered to refer the present proceedings to the Attorney General of the Republic, Dr. Tarek William Saab, so that the corresponding investigation can continue.
In addition, the Supreme Court of the Republic orders certified copies of these proceedings to be sent to the president of the National Constituent Assembly, Diosdado Cabello Rondón, for the purposes of the aforementioned Assembly to determine what is appropriate, as provided in Article 200 of the Constitution of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and the Constitutional Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice, for its knowledge and the like.
