JEP Reverses Decision: Clarifies Simón Trinidad is Not Accredited as a Victim
Following Wednesday's controversy, the Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP) corrected the inclusion of Juvenal Ovidio Ricardo Palmera Pineda, known as 'Simón Trinidad,' in a list of victims for macro-case 06, which investigates the genocide against the Patriotic Union.
TL;DR
- The JEP mistakenly included Juvenal Ovidio Ricardo Palmera Pineda, 'Simón Trinidad,' in a list of victims for macro-case 06.
- The inclusion was due to a human error where a preliminary Excel file was attached instead of the final list.
- Trinidad's request for accreditation as a victim is still under review and has not been resolved.
- The JEP clarified that this accreditation, if granted, would not change his current judicial status or his detention in the United States.
- Trinidad is serving a 60-year prison sentence in the U.S. for kidnapping three American citizens in 2003.
- Macro-case 06 investigates the genocide against the Patriotic Union, a significant case for the JEP.
