The head of the Investigating Court number 15,

Esperanza Collazos

, refuses to file the 'Plus Ultra case' and orders a repeat of last January's confrontation between the independent experts and those of the Government.

In an order to which this newspaper has had access, the judge rules out the dismissal requested again by the Prosecutor's Office and by the airline and orders the testimony of the different experts to be repeated due to recording problems in the Court's services and the impossibility of "recovering the sound".

The independent experts headed by Martín Molina, on the one hand, and those of the State Participation Company, on the other, will have to confront their arguments again on March 29.

Martín Molina maintains that Plus Ultra received the ransom without meeting the legal requirements for it, while DC Advisory and Deloitte, who advised the State, maintain the opposite.

Thus, the investigation against senior officials of the Administration for possible embezzlement and other crimes

in the rescue of 53 million Plus Ultra approved by the Council of Ministers last year remains open.

The judge has also rejected that Plus Ultra present an expert report signed by

Julio César Calvo

, because "there is no place."

This last judicial decision unleashed this Thursday a new statement from the airline reproaching the judge.

"Plus Ultra Líneas Aéreas considers that its right to defense has been violated by the judge rejecting without any reason the only evidence that it had requested," he maintains.

The airline, whose top shareholders are Venezuelans with various companies in Panama, and had not made a profit before the pandemic also criticizes

that "

delaying the repetition of the confrontation for more than two months seriously damages its reputation and commercial interests because it allows the continual attack by part of the media and political sector to be extended over time, which feeds off the information to which they have access in the procedure judiciary"

.

The PP and Vox are among the accusations against the rescue of this company.
