Attorney-at-law and Congressman Oswaldo Ramos Soto, stated that entrepreneur Schucry Kafie must defend himself in freedom, because he has proven deep attachments in the country, therefore is not a flight risk, moreover, he presented himself voluntarily unto our nation’s penal courts, as he was abroad, and he answered the subpoena received.

“The District Attorney’s office made accusations at Kafie, but enough attachment has proven that he is not a flight risk, he actually came from abroad and presented himself voluntarily. He must be heard without incarceration.”

“Because here it’s not a case of he who stole a chicken goes to jail, and this one doesn’t. In this case it is about a family who owns several businesses and he must tend to them.”

“He should be granted precautionary measures, but this is a personal opinion. The judge has the ability to qualify and determine the situation.”

He recalled that in Schucry Kafie’s case, he was an associate in an enterprise that signed a contract with Social Security, after participating in an international contest.

This offer was approved and granted by the board of directors of Social Security, as our Constitution establishes, because it is a contract that  lasts longer than four years, it passed through National Congress and when it reached the legislative branch, it then went to an ordinary health commission and afterwards Congress approved the contract. After this, the executive branch approved it and published its approval in La Gaceta. (Official newspaper of the country)
