Quintavalle Continues In
Conditional Liberty
Italian businessman,
Matteo Quintavalle,
accused of defrauding
his American investors,
will continue to be free
on conditions, according
to a decision yesterday
by judge Ericka Chaves,
of the Juzgado Penal de
Pavas.
The Tribunal Penal de
San José asked the Pavas
court to continue the
conditional release.
The Italian will be
required to sign in at
the court every fifteen
days, has to have a
fixed residential
address, cannot leave
the country and is
prohibited from
contacting his accusers
and witnesses.
Quintavalle was released
from the Unidad de
Admisión de San
Sebastián (San José
jail) because of his
health, the court
explaining that he could
take of his health much
better outside of jail.
Carlos Ayón, lawyer for
the investors accusing
Quintavalle said
yesterday that he would
be appealing the judges
order to conditional
release.
Quintavalle, on leaving
the Pavas court house,
said he was in good
health since he has been
out of jail.
The court press office
informed that it had
cancelled a preliminary
hearing that was to take
place between
Quintavalle and
investors at the San
José tribunals due to
the fact the businessman
and the investors have
yet to reach an
agreement on the amount
and form of repayment. |
