THE FORMER  Minister of Social Development Guillermo Ferrufino, whose high living activities have landed him in trouble on more than one occasion has a term of three working days to respond to the request of the Anticorruption Discharge Department to strengthen precautionary measures against him while he and his wife await trial for unjustified enrichment.

The prosecution has asked the Eleventh Criminal Court to change the precautionary measure -it is currently impediment from leaving the country – following his latest escapade.

On March 18  he was caught driving drunk and with an expired license in Chiriquí.

The term of three working days is from April 3. The court order was addressed to all parties that wish to issue an opinion.

According to article 2127 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, the judge could toughen the precautionary measure with other actions, such as house arrest, or return to preventive detention.
