"The prosecutor in charge, with total autonomy and independence and attentive to criteria of legal impartiality and probatory objectivity, considers that the grounds for preclusion have been met," it added.

"The chambers rejects the petition for preclusion of the investigation for the crimes of penal bribery and procedural fraud."

“The negative decision of the Friars cannot be seen as a preclusion to going ahead with Fr. Judge’s cause,” Escalante wrote.
