On the same day, at the same time as the complaint, the resolution had already been made.
Judging by the official documents, the president of the Judicial Council, Marcelo Merlo, took less than a minute to suspend the judge of Samborondón Paola de Ángeles Dávila. The sanction was granted for revoking the preventive detention against former minister Iván Espinel.
The complaint against the judge, presented by the director of the Unit of Economic and Financial Analysis (UAFE), Diana Salazar, arrived Monday at 17 hours and contained 14 pages. He entered directly into the presidential office, as it appears on the stamp of the last page. That same day, at the same time, Merlo signed the resolution that dictates the suspension.
In other words, reading the complaint and making a decision meant no more than 59 seconds, because the minute hand had not even changed at 5:01 pm.
The usual procedure for making a complaint or The complaint is made through the judicial services window, located on the ground floor of the building, in the north center of Quito. Once he has entered, he is sent to the corresponding department.
From the presidency of the agency, it was reported that the document arrived when the window was already closed, so it was sent directly to Merlo. But that the next day proceeded to the ordinary procedure through the window.

In addition, he argues that "it leaves the flavor alive and that there is no respect for the jurisdictional activity".
A similar criterion is that of the dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences and Law of the SEK University, María Paz Jervis, for whom Merlo's decision leaves "a bad taste in the mouth" because the procedures would not be taken into account. allow the defense.
"Anyone who has such a delicate task must keep the decisions that he takes very carefully." Regardless of Dr. Salazar's and Dr. Merlo's honesty, we have the impression that he there is organized work and that is the main exhaustion of the previous decade, "he explained.
