The anti-corruption prosecutor Kira Tascón requested a verdict condemning the former Minister of Economy and Finance, Frank De Lima, the former manager of the Tocumen International Airport, Juan Carlos Pino, and the legal representative of the Sky Parking company, Dionisia Gutiérrez, for embezzlement due to irregularities in the contract for the administration of the parking lots of the air terminal.

During the trial that culminated  Thursday afternoon, prosecutor Tascón alleged that the evidence proving the commission of the crime was presented, for which she requested a conviction for those involved, with the exception of the former manager of assets of the Tocumen Airport, Jaime Quintero, for whom he requested an acquittal.

The first judge to liquidate criminal cases, Agueda Rentería, accepted the term of 30 days to issue a verdict.

The defense attorneys requested an acquittal for those investigated, after pointing out that there was no patrimonial injury to the detriment of the State.

At the same time, they requested the lifting of the precautionary measures against their clients to prevent them from leaving the country.

The case stems from an anonymous complaint filed with the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office on August 21, 2014, referring to alleged inappropriate and recurring handling that was taking place in the parking contracts at the air terminal.

The concession for the administration and operation of parking lots at the airport –for a period of 20 years– was awarded by Tocumen, SA, in July 2011, through the mechanism of direct contracting by invitation, to Sky Parking, SA.
