On Thursday morning, the criminal case against Ingri Ramirez Rodriguez appeared on the court schedule. She faces a quite serious accusation as she presented a fake document for registration in the Census in Aruba.
However, a thorough hearing did not take place. The accused woman did not appear in court. Although initially, she appeared on the list of cases without having a lawyer.
On Thursday morning, it became apparent that she recently obtained a lawyer, and this professional had not yet had a week to review the documents or anything else. But it was enough for him to request a postponement and also make some requests to the court.
Mr. Carlo insisted on creating a report from various authorities, considering his client’s mental state and the mental problems she had been experiencing for a long time. He gave a brief summary of what caused the mental problems of the lady, who was married to a Muslim who went to his country with their two children, whom the lady has not been able to find or see since.
However, the prosecutor did not find it necessary to conduct further investigations because “that story is known. Many people who did the same had all sorts of problems they had to face. She consciously handed over a fake passport to Immigration and Customs when she entered Aruba,” was the prosecutor’s reaction.
Nevertheless, the judge postponed the hearing to allow the Reclassering (Probation Service) to create a report, and from there, they will determine if further analysis by other professionals is necessary and if additional investigations need to be conducted.
So, it has been postponed indefinitely, and a judge specializing in corruption cases involving politicians will handle the case. The reason is that this female accused is the partner of a high-ranking official in the justice system, namely Gino Winklaar, director of KIA, and made available to Guarda Nos Costa.
