The judicial reform has brought a novelty, the Media Prosecutor and Judge. However, the process of this important link in the judiciary system has not been making transparency.
Top Channel monitored the Prosecution of Serious Crimes, which is treating several cases of significant public interest.
The Prosecution of Serious Crimes has found a pretext to avoid communication by using the term: investigation secrecy.
The judicial reform part that guarantees transparency for the public is not functional. The new law for the Prosecution provides that a specific Prosecutor should keep relations with the media, but the situation of the public communication has actually deteriorated.
The Prosecution hides behind “investigation secrecy” even when questions don’t damage the investigation.
Such as:
There is high public interest for all four cases, and they don’t try to reveal any investigative secrecy.
Unofficial sources confirmed for Top Channel that there is another argument why “investigation secrecy” is used as pretext to not make transparency. These sources doubt the ability of the Prosecution to progress with important cases that are undergoing. Until the Prosecution decides to make transparency, this will be the more credible option.
