Aguirre's Defense Says It Will Challenge the Trial-Linking Ruling

Ángel Aguirre's legal team announced it would formally challenge (impugnar) the judge's August 12 decision linking him to trial for forced disappearance, questioning the evidentiary basis of the two protected witnesses and criticizing what it called irregularities in the justice system's handling of the case. The move sets up a protracted legal battle even as the case proceeds through its four-month supplementary investigation period.
