 Dimesa Statement

DIMESA informs that the Francisco Morazán Criminal Court determined that its representatives, Schucry Kafie and Juan Alberto Madrid, will defend themselves without incarceration due to precautionary measures.

To the Honduran people we inform of the following:

1.- Bail was set at an amount considered excessively high. However, we will perform the necessary actions in order to present said bail, as one more token that our clients always act within the law and as such should be able to enjoy their right to defend themselves without incarceration.

2.- In the majority of known cases in Honduras that are related to alleged embezzlement, the law has allowed that the accused be able to defend themselves in liberty, as long as enough evidence is presented to prove they are not flight risks, all of which was duly proven unto the Penal Court.

3.- We have all the supporting evidence to prove that any and all of the actions regarding the contract between DIMESA and the National Institute for National Security (IHSS) have always been in strict compliance of the law and in aid of the health of the Honduran people. This contract was approved by all legal and government instances which further proves the transparency of the process of international public contest under which said contract took place.

4.- We would like to state for the record that DIMESA complied with its contractual obligations with IHSS maintaining 100% of the biomedical equipment until the cancelation of the contract in January 31 of this year.

We trust that this will be the start of an impartial process that will prove the innocence of our clients and of their business. We reiterate our commitment to help contribute to a transparent and legal process that will guarantee due process and that will focus on the facts and the truth.
