Minor Calvo Could Be On Probation Come Monday

Catholic church priest, Minor Calvo (Mínor de Jesús Calvo Aguilar) may soon get his freedom after spending five years behind bars at the Unidad de Admisión de San Sebastián (San Jose jail), expecting today to get the good news of his approval of conditional release.

The ministra de Justicia, Viviana Martin, explained that the priest, who was sentenced to eights in jail for fraud against the faithful of Radio María de Guadalupe, will be on Monday, May 25, if his probation is approved and will have to sleep at least two nights a week at the Centro Guadalupe.

In addition, Calvo is expected to stay free of drugs and criminal behaviour as his condition of probation.

The probation board of the Adaptación Social has taken into consideration the priest's conduct while incarcerated and that he has his job at the Catholic church upon release.

Calvo was also one of two accused of being the mastermind behind the murder of journalist Parmenio Medina, whose radio program "la patada" was critical of  Radio María and the fraud that was being perpetrated on the listeners.

Medina, who fled the violence of Colombia, was murdered on July 2, 2001, in front of his home. Business and Calvo's partner in the radio station, Omar Chaves, was convicted of the murder plot and gunman Luis Alberto Aguirre Jaime, for carrying it out.
