A Judge suspended after files containing information about a Financial Pacific (FP)   brokerage case with links to ex-president Ricardo Martinelli were found on a highway, will not be returning to the bench before July.

Judge of Guarantees Kenia Marín - after hearing the defense and prosecution's arguments – on Monday, May 28,   decided that  Seventh Criminal Judge  Felipe Fuentes will remain separated from office at least until the investigation phase of the case, ends on July 1.

At the hearing, Fuentes' defense attorney, Leonardo Paul, requested a review the precautionary measures of his client.

Fuentes was separated from his position after he was prosecuted over documents from the Financial Pacific file found by a motorist on the highway in the Loma Cová sector on January 15.

Among the documents are six booklets of the Financial Pacific case, related to the investigation for the alleged use of privileged information to manipulate the stock market through the High Spirit account which Mate Pelligrini, a former manager at the now-defunct brokerage, testified belonged to Martinelli.
