The foreigner surnamed Akl, apparently linked to organized crime, will not be deported, thanks to an order of the Criminal Court of Pavas, which indicates that a provisional immigration permit must be granted for six months, in order to face a pending criminal process in the country .
Mata Vega said that he respects the judicial decisions, but in this case he disagrees with it and urges for preventive custody measures to be imposed while the suspect faces trial in the country.
Therefore, Immigration must release said individual, who remains in an administrative custody.
I am worried that the release of this subject will generate more violence in the country, since we don’t rule out the possibility that any criminal group assumes a radical position, affecting innocent third parties,”
explained Mata Vega.
On Friday, the subject surnamed Akl was released by decision of the Criminal Court of Pavas, who opted for other precautionary measures: having him go sign every 15 days. The Prosecutor’s Office requested an extension of the preventive detention against the Canadian man of Lebanese origin, but the petition was rejected. Despite that, shortly after he was arrested again.
