During the hearing for the imputation of charges against Enrique Vives Caballero, which took place on the night of September 17, the judge handling the case gave the floor to the representative of the Public Ministry, Gloria Guzmán Duque, who requested and supported the request for an assurance measure ensuring that in addition to causing the death of the minors, the businessman tried repeatedly to flee from justice.
Guzmán Duque cited a nursing report that indicates that the man tried to flee the Perfect Body Clinic twice in the company of his relatives, lawyer and custodian. Reason why he argued that it is necessary for Vives to be under an insurance measure while all the investigations are being carried out in this regard since he could evade his responsibility at any time.
“This assurance measure must be said that, although it is proportional, it is exceptional, but it is also preventive, what it prevents is that the accused does not evade the action of justice and we have had to suffer many behaviors from September 13 to the date, in this regard ”, assured the representative of the Public Ministry.
In addition to this, the representative of the Public Ministry read the minutes that the hospital delivered and where the medical report assured that, despite the controls they exercised to prevent the man from leaving the place, one day, he was in the company of his The lawyer and family members left for the mental health center where he was admitted, despite the fact that the judge had already given the order that he could not be transferred.
“I just want to mention an annotation that is made in the medical history in which an alert oriented in the three spheres is shown, collaborative, well oriented, but that, minutes later, when the hearing is installed and he (Enrique) says that he is unconscious and, a nursing note of September 15, at 5:46 p.m. that says: ‘patient who does not accept a referral, attempts to escape several times, is detained and explained to him, who does not accept the referral and does not sign consent , who runs away with family members, a lawyer and his custodian, ‘”Gloria Guzmán Duque read.
Due to the constant inconsistencies that have arisen in this case, the escape attempts plus the contempt for the orders that have been issued by justice, The Office of the Attorney General of the Nation opened a preliminary inquiry to the members of the Santa Marta Metropolitan Police who participated in the police capture procedure, custody the day the accident occurred in which six minors died and one was seriously injured.
The control body assured that it is necessary to have a fixed control of what happened that night to ensure that all the protocol was complied with when capturing the man and that the uniformed men did not participate in any illegal action that would allow him to have some kind advantage, “Establish the existence of alleged disciplinary offenses related to alleged irregularities in the procedure carried out by the members of the National Police at the time of the capture of Vives Caballero and his disposition before the trial judge.”
