They renounce the process against Enrique Vives
They asked the Prosecutor’s Office to modify the judicial conduct from eventual intent to negligent homicide for which it must respond
Although there is no economic amount that can compensate for the life that was lost, the lawyer reported that all the families, without exception, decided accept the demands that the insurance company raised in the sense of waiving the charges and the entire legal process that they were carrying out against Enrique Vives.
“It is already a fact that the victims are not going to continue the criminal action against the driver, and they also asked the Prosecutor’s Office to modify the judicial conduct from eventual intent to negligent homicide for which they must respond,” said the jurist.
In any case, it is an autonomous decision of the accusing entity if it takes into account the request of the families or maintains its position of taking Vives Caballero to trial and severely sentencing.
For the time being, as requested by the judge, the Prosecutor’s Office has already handed over to the businessman’s defense the evidence in his possession to point him out as the main responsible of the road tragedy that left six dead and an injured teenager.
The preparatory hearing is scheduled for March 3, where the accusing body and Vives’ lawyer will defend their version with evidence and technical arguments about what happened the morning of the accident on the dual carriageway in the Gaira sector.
