Judge Abel Zamorano will serve as judge of guarantees and his colleague Hernán De León as prosecutor, in the investigation of deputy Aris De Icaza, of Cambio Democrático (CD)  for alleged anomalies in the handling of funds from the returns and donations of the National  Assembly. The designations follow the admission of the complaint against the deputy on August 8, by the plenary of the Supreme Court. The action was presented by the Comptroller General Federico Humbert, on June 29. De Icaza is one of a number of deputies facing criminal investigation following an audit sparked by a La Prensa expose of the squandering of scores of millions of taxpayer dollars.
