Judge Bremer's arguments for ordering the Gonzalez to trial are unknown. Prior to the beginning of the hearing, the judge denied public access to the hearing in the Tenth Criminal Court.
González was detained and jailed more than a month ago in an operation by the Internal Affairs Prosecutor's Office of the Public Prosecutor's Office (MP), after former Judge Stalling denounced her for abuse of authority. When working for CICIG, Claudia Hernandez was in charge of an investigation against then Judge Stalling who had been denounced by Judge Carlos Ruano, for trying to influence him to grant parole to her son Otto Molina Stalling, who was accused of corruption in the IGSS-Pisa criminal investigation.
Despite the risks of persecution of judges, prosecutors and lawyers, Gonzalez was also in charge of the defense of several justice operators, such as the cases against Juan Francisco Sandoval, Virginia Laparra and the Leily Santizo.
The Internal Affairs Prosecutor's Office will have three months to develop the investigation against Gonzalez. That is to say, Gonzalez will have to remain in prison.
Bremer did not arrive at the same conclusion in the case of drug traffickers. He recently granted parole to Maybellinne Herrera alias "La Patrona", accused of murder and drug trafficking.
International recognition
In April of this year she was recognized in Holland by the organization "Lawyers for Lawyers" with an award given to legal professionals who face a high risk due to the work they do.
The former head of the now defunct CICIG is in charge of the criminal defense of at least nine lawyers who worked on high-profile corruption cases, six of them are former prosecutors of the Public Prosecutor's Office and three of them are former judicial officers of the CICIG.
As a result of these legal cases and her legal defense work, Gonzalez denounced harassment and intimidation in social networks by anonymous accounts and directed by the same people accused of corruption.
In an interview with Prensa Comunitaria in April, the lawyer assured that the danger of her capture was latent. "There is a case in the Special Prosecutor's Office Against Impunity (FECI) in which I was denounced and they have not allowed me to have access to that investigation, because of the work I do," she said.
