NADIE DEBE TOMAR LA JUSTICIA EN SUS MANOS - ENDia Editorial

NADIE DEBE TOMAR LA JUSTICIA EN SUS MANOS
Wednesday June 19th, 2013 at 8:12 AM

1 Share
19 de junio de 2013
En un país donde la mayoría de los ciudadanos se opone a la aplicación de la pena de muerte, no hay causa alguna que valide el que un hombre que supuestamente asesinó a su pareja y al hijo de ésta haya sido linchado por personas de una comunidad que decidieron tomar la justicia en sus manos.
No es inusual que comunidades azotadas por el crimen y la violencia como las que vemos a diario en las calles de nuestro país, aduzcan desesperación y falta de fe en el sistema judicial para justificar lo que ellos consideran “justicia”, en total menosprecio a la ley.
Pero la realidad es que lo ocurrido en el residencial Pedro Rosario Nieves de Fajardo el pasado fin de semana no fue un acto justiciero de una comunidad, sino un abominable episodio de venganza y menosprecio a la vida de un ser humano, y a nuestro sistema de ley y orden que, aun con sus defectos, es un pilar de nuestra democracia y sin el cual imperaría la anarquía.
¿Podemos imaginar qué país tendríamos si cada quien decidiera imponer su propia interpretación de las leyes, obrando bajo la máxima de ojo por ojo y diente por diente, y cada cual actuara en forma ilegal? Aquellos que infligen daño físico a delincuentes, ya sea porque la Policía no los capturó a tiempo o no fueron convictos en corte, o porque el castigo no los satisfizo, desestabilizan el orden social y escogen un derrotero inaceptable.
Los actos de supuesta justicia popular o de ciudadanos privados “vigilantes”, tienen que verse como lo que son: corrosivos y peligrosos incidentes criminales. Se trata de acciones violentas que se responden con más violencia, en episodios donde se vulnera el derecho universal de la presunción de inocencia, que garantiza nuestro ordenamiento jurídico.
Como pueblo tenemos que condenar con todas nuestras fuerzas humanas el asesinato de Janet Quiñones Torres y su hijo Gabriel Molina Quiñones a manos de Miguel Asencio Ayala. Pero, con la misma fuerza tenemos que condenar la muerte por linchamiento de Asencio Ayala y también el fallecimiento en una secuencia de acontecimientos encadenados en un accidente de tránsito de Edward Jadiel Caraballo Alvira y Albert Parrilla Rosario, dos adolescentes de Río Grande que nada tenían que ver con los trágicos sucesos iniciales. En ese aspecto, debemos apoyar a las autoridades en sus esfuerzos para lograr que el asesinato y el accidente se esclarezcan y que los responsables sean castigados con todo el peso de la ley.
Los responsables de este vil acto tienen que tomar conciencia de que al linchar a Asencio Ayala, actuaron de forma idéntica que el presunto asesino, convirtiéndose en seres igualmente execrables. La Policía por su parte, tiene que actuar con rapidez para hallar a los actores de este linchamiento para enviar con ello un contundente mensaje de que este tipo de acción criminal de individuos que actúan al margen de la ley, no tiene cabida en nuestra sociedad.
Nuestro sistema judicial tiene también una enorme responsabilidad en aplacar las actuaciones de esos supuestos elementos “justicieros”, corrigiendo las deficiencias del sistema que han aflorado en tiempos recientes en el manejo de casos de violencia de género y asesinatos, inequidades que promueven un sentido de impunidad que erosiona la fe de los ciudadanos en la efectividad de nuestra justicia.
La creencia de que cada cual puede actuar por la libre porque no teme consecuencias tiene que erradicarse de Puerto Rico. Ello propiciará, más que cualquier otro esfuerzo, que las comunidades se sientan que cuentan con el apoyo de los controles y castigos del Estado para vencer su situación de indefensión.

Officials investigating death of Puerto Rico bank executive

How can banking culture be changed for the better? - FT

How can banking culture be changed for the better? http://on.ft.com/14hkqFp

"Personal accountability is little more than an illusion in many parts of banking, especially at senior levels," a parliamentary review of the UK banking sector has found.

But would new criminal sanctions on bankers, deferring bonuses for a decade and more women on the trading floor - as recommended by the report - change behaviour and restore trust?

Officials investigating death of Puerto Rico bank executive

SAN JUAN | Tue Jun 18, 2013 7:10pm EDT
SAN JUAN (Reuters) - The FBI is investigating allegations that high-ranking bank officials in Puerto Rico conspired to have a former Doral Bank executive killed after he claimed he uncovered fraud, the U.S. attorney for the district of Puerto Rico said on Tuesday.
Maurice Spagnoletti, 56, was shot multiple times while driving home from work to the fashionable Condado beachfront district in rush-hour traffic in June 2011. Authorities have described the shooting as an apparent contract killing, but have made no arrests.
"We have had some leads, but not enough to bring charges. That's why we have been placing more emphasis on this case. It is very important to us," said U.S. Attorney Rosa Emilia Rodriguez, who added that the FBI was investigating the Spagnoletti shooting.
Spagnoletti's family filed a wrongful death and racketeering lawsuit on Friday against the chief executive and four other high-ranking officials at the bank where he worked at the time of his death.
Spagnoletti was chief operating officer at Doral Bank, when he uncovered alleged fraudulent accounting and improper payments by the bank, according to the lawsuit filed by his widow and daughter.
U.S. officials will examine the information in the lawsuit, Rodriguez said.
"All angles are being investigated ... Nothing is being discarded," Rodriguez said.
Doral Financial Corporation, the bank's holding company, issued a statement saying the lawsuit "is false, frivolous and has absolutely no legal basis."
It said the bank "has been fully cooperating with the investigating authorities and we will continue to aid the investigation, as we have done since it was started."
Spagnoletti received warnings and threats after he sought to have a senior bank employee dismissed for allegedly making hundreds of thousands of dollars in improper payments, the lawsuit said.
Doral Bank has 26 branches in Puerto Rico, Florida and New York and nearly $6 billion in assets. It is Puerto Rico's sixth largest bank, and second largest mortgage lender.
