Minaya Rosario<\/strong> and <strong>Marco A.

The complaint is based on the alleged prolonged inaction of the Public Ministry in the face of a complaint filed on <strong>November 10, 2023<\/strong> against Mr. <strong>Yanko Iv\u00e1n Holgu\u00edn Mel\u00e9ndez<\/strong>, for alleged acts of barbarity, violence against women and illegal deprivation of liberty.<\/p>\n<p>According to the lawyers, after more than eight months since the filing of the complaint, the prosecutors have not carried out any investigation, despite the fact that it included clear proposals for action, such as the request for information from mental health centers allegedly involved in the events.<\/p>\n<p>As detailed, Mrs. Far\u00edas Figueroa would have been held against her will in several mental health centers, including <strong>Buen Hogar<\/strong>, <strong>Renova<\/strong> and the clinic of <strong>Dr. Fernando Cuello P\u00e9rez<\/strong>, without a court order or prior medical diagnosis. The legal representatives allege that these internments would have been orchestrated by her ex-partner from abroad, in complicity with third parties.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The procedural silence on the part of the appointed prosecutors represents an institutional re-victimization and contributes to impunity.
