455 euros for 10 months of work
Clamor in the trial of the 'Prestige' fees against the regional government wants to pay the lawyer defending ex officio chief engineer of the tanker
SPECIAL catastrophe 'Prestige'
Paola Obelleiro Coruna 18 OCT 2012 - 01:30 CET
Spent 20 years litigating all types of civil and criminal cases from his office in the small town of Cee, capital of the Costa da Morte against which a tanker crashed Prestige called one afternoon in November 2002. And no one imagined the lawyer Paulino Perez Riveiro I was going to fall over, almost a decade later, the catastrophe and 230,315 kilometer summary sheets that led no less than nine years of court instruct the small neighboring town Corcubión. Joined to trade shifts, this lawyer touched, last July, to be the champion of one of the main accused of the Prestige macro trial, which began on Tuesday in La Coruna, the Greek sailor Nykolaos Argyropoulos. And all summer immersed in the "core writings", more than 80,000 pages, to prepare and present their arguments in September of the former defense chief engineer of the Prestige in the major cause for environmental violations never educated in Spain. It is an issue of 4,442 million euros, the amount claimed by the prosecution for the damage that caused the catastrophe.
Riveiro explains who is in shifts lawyer for conviction "and moral obligation to assist people who have fewer resources." But now it is he who may be "in total ruin" to defend until the end of the hearing, in May 2013, Argyropoulos: total charged only 455 euros and 30 cents for 10 months of work. Not even cover for your gas car that runs 200 kilometers every day back and forth between Cee and A Coruña.
A waiver of counsel would jeopardize the continuity of the process
All attempts were in vain and pretrial negotiations to try to increase the Xunta accept their fees. Organize and conduct the trial of Prestige cost to the public purse Galician 1.4 million euros. But the regional government does not want to put a penny for that fair trade counsel office of one of the defendants who are alleged to have caused the massive oil spill in 2002. Although last night the Presidential finally make a move. It was after the verbal request of the presiding judge and the clamor for Perez Riveiro nearly all 70 lawyers involved in the macro trial. The Ministry of Presidency broke his silence to ensure, in a brief statement, "it is considering making an exception and working on a possible solution." One of them, added the department would make "the process Boqueron", a minor issue of car theft in Santiago, where he accepted the Bar complete the emoluments of public defenders.
Nothing says Xunta to follow another precedent much more in line with the exceptional trial of Prestige for the attacks of March 11, the Ministry of Justice eventually reached an agreement with the Bar Council to triple fees the twenty defenders, to a maximum of 20,000 euros each.
The Government is now studying Feijóo better pay attorney
The request goes beyond economic demand. For Perez Riveiro above all is "the constitutional right of everyone to have a fair defense." "I take it very serious about litigating for marine asking for eight to nine years in prison," he argues. Yesterday, on the second day of the hearing, counsel gave: "The president says that Spain is not Uganda, but it would be worrying to think that anyone would Uganda fairer trial in Spain"
At risk is even continuity of Prestige own macro trial that took a decade to celebrate: if before November 12, the eve of the tenth anniversary of the disaster, do not get "decent fees," Perez Riveiro resign. And find another lawyer for the Greek navy will not be easy. To get it, would be delayed another three months, to take cognizance of the summary, a view and took 10 years to begin. And it could also be "mistrial" warns Riveiro. And he explains: "The regional government is judge and jury, is one of the accusations against the chief engineer and also denied the means for a fair defense."
