Prosecutor and magistrate disagree on detention orders for gold smuggling suspects
The case of the eight people remanded in custody on charges of gold smuggling took yet another turn on Tuesday afternoon, after the Prosecutor's Office disagreed with the corrruption Magistrate's decision announced earlier in the day to revoke the warrants for their detention.
The lawyers representing the accused, who include the owner of a well-known chain of pawn shops, are preparing to appeal to the Misdemeanours Justices' Council for their clients' release. Once they do so, the Judicial Council will rule on the appeal within a few days.
According to information, the prosecutor appears to be weighing the evidence in the case differently from the magistrate, invoking previous cases of gold exports.The difference in approach reflects divergent legal opinions.
