The State Council will consider a paper, Magistrate William Hernandez, who intends to return to the leftist leader's public functions and the possibility of returning to Congress.
While serving a disability in the exercise of public functions should be extended over 18 years, the former senator Piedad Cordoba could return to the political arena on behalf of a draft decision that will study the State Council and suggesting override that sanction imposed by the Attorney General. The judge of the Second Section of the High Court proposed to the Full Court to leave without effect the decision of the control body and to return the wages they failed to receive on behalf of that determination, which prevented him to continue to exercise within four years for which he was elected parliamentarian in 2010.
Since the September 27, 2010, Córdoba was forced to abandon his duties as senator, on behalf of a failure of the Attorney General, Alejandro Ordóñez, which was declared disciplinary responsible for collaborating with the FARC. The watchdog threw hand evidence collected computer that allegedly belonged to the late FARC chief Edgar Devia, better known as Raul Reyes, and was recovered in the camp where he died the then number two of the guerrilla organization Ecuador.
There appeared numerous talks between the insurgent leader and a woman who identified with the nickname 'Teodora', who allegedly was the then Liberal Party Senator. Nothing helped the decision of the Supreme Court, months earlier, he had declared illegal evidence, which led to the annulment of most of the records were opened based on that information. The African leader tried everything to return to office. Tutela before different national courts, requests under multilateral agencies and others. However, in all judicial corporations they respected the power of attorney disciplinary power Ordoñez.
The leader had no alternative but to cling to the possibility that the State Council declared illegal the decision and reinstate the guarantees affected by an action for annulment and restoration of rights. And, after six years of waiting, the battle is won. All thanks to a paper in which the counselor Hernandez Piedad found him not respect your right to due process in the course of the investigation Ordonez forward against him for 'farcpolitics'.
In his view, the senator was removed and disabled by illegally collected evidence, as previously there was a court decision noted that after the seizure of computer of Reyes' no chain of custody was saved, which overruled all the test material contained therein. So, the judge proposed to the Plenary Chamber of the State Council annul the sanction against Córdoba and voiding wages failed to receive after the execution of the judgment. Wednesday will begin to discuss the case in that high corporation.
