The AN is studying tomorrow the extradition to Mexico of a Venezuelan model accused of recruiting hostesses to prostitute them

The Prosecutor's Office opposes handing it over, underlining "the evidence" that it was not at the place and date of the events

MADRID, 19 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The National Court (AN) holds an extradition hearing this Monday to decide whether to deliver to Mexico the Venezuelan model Yorbriele Ninoska Vásquez Álvarez, accused of recruiting young people under the promise of working as hostesses to force them into prostitution, something to which the Prosecutor's Office is opposed.

According to the account of the facts contained in the letter of the Spanish Prosecutor's Office, to which Europa Press has had access, Vásquez Álvarez, "allegedly, in concert with other people who are not identified, in August 2021, using deception, made an offer of I work as flight attendants for two people, when what I really wanted was to force them to practice prostitution for their benefit".

Thus, he made an appointment with the girls agreeing to hire them to work as hostesses at events scheduled for that month of September in Mexico City and, "once their trust had been earned", already in October, he summoned them again in a hotel where they worked. of hostesses.

However, "at the end he told them to go up to their respective rooms where he threatened them to have sexual relations with two people attending the event, who paid for such services" to Vásquez Álvarez.

The Prosecutor's Office explains that in Mexico these acts are punished as human trafficking in its modality of sexual exploitation, illegal that in Spanish law is equivalent to a crime related to prostitution and sexual exploitation, and crimes of sexual assault.

However, it indicates that, "without prejudice to the foregoing, the defendant has provided documents that give credibility to her allegation that the claim is instigated by her ex-partner, who has threatened her with revenge for having broken their relationship ".

"From his analysis, it can be deduced the serious situation of threat to life that affects the defendant," says the Public Ministry, detailing that his ex-partner "flaunts" his "contacts with authorities supposedly managed by him" against her .

To this he adds "the evidence" that Vásquez Álvarez was not "at the place and date of the alleged events", judging by a series of international flights, some with a stopover in Madrid.

"In this way and in this context, it is worth highlighting the laconic nature of the alleged facts and the absence of incriminating data, beyond the mere manifestation of the same without the contribution of testimonies or inquiries about their presence at the place of the murders. facts," he says.

However, the Prosecutor's Office states that, "although, in principle, circumstances relating to the merits of the matter cannot be opposed to the request for surrender, there is an exception based on the manifest impossibility of committing the acts due to objective circumstances."

In this case, it believes that "the reason for refusal exists", taking into account "the doubtful location of the defendant at the moment in which the claimant authorities place her in Mexico City and the reasonable doubt about the instigation of her ex-partner as the motor of the penal action directed against her".

Consequently, although the other legal requirements for her extradition are met -such as double jeopardy-, the Public Ministry advocates not turning her over to the Mexican authorities.
