Sometimes, the aim is to comply with due process, allow time for investigation, and avoid unnecessary media noise. But other times, that same Public Ministry humiliates innocent people, conducts raids without investigating, and acts regardless of whether it is an incorrect procedure.

So, should we remain hopeful that justice will be served for the victims of the Jet Set?
