"We have been hearing about incidents raised in a disorganized manner for three days, which do not allow the court to ascertain what the parties' claims are, and the court gave a deadline until Wednesday at 2:00 p.m. for them to organize their strategy and present themselves in an organized manner in court," indicated the head of the Specialized Prosecutor's Office for the Prosecution of Administrative Corruption (Pepca).
