The trial regarding the 'Notebooks of Bribes' resumed with Ricardo Jaime challenging a judge and businessman Mario Rovella requesting the annulment of his statement as a repentant witness.
The trial related to the scandal known as the 'Notebooks of Bribes' resumed following a break during the Carnival holidays, bringing renewed scrutiny into the case against former Transport Secretary Ricardo Jaime. Jaime formally challenged Judge Fernando Canero just 15 minutes before the hearing began, which raised eyebrows regarding his motives and the timing of such a legal maneuver. This challenge is now being handled by the court's secretariat and does not halt the proceedings, indicating the court's intention to keep moving forward despite Jaime's efforts to delay.
