He reiterated that he’s convinced that Bautista committed fraud as a government official, , as well as others in the case “archived” by the Supreme Court.

The former official stressed that the ruling “was already made,” as they behind his decision not to appeal. “Everything was reverted and the decisions were taken by people who didn’t have the slightest impartiality.”
