According to the brief filed by attorney Rigoberto Portillo, the lawyer said he is abandoning her defense because she has not paid for his counsel. The brief was filed a few days ago, reportedly after Portillo’s fees were not paid by his client.
Moncada has arrest warrants pending at both the national and international levels, and was accused by the prosecution on charges of abuse of authority and fraud against the administration of the State of Honduras, the penalty of which is 3 to 6 years imprisonment for fraud.
The prosecution alleges that the former manager of the ENEE signed a lease on a building at a cost of 16 million Lempiras, when the State had only seven million in its finances allocated for the rental of buildings.

That is good. Let them feel how to be afraid like the rest of the people. They thought they’re above the law when they were doing bad things, they thought crime won’t catch them up for their evil agendas. Let them feel how to eat waste of others in prison. I am not a vengeful person but it just irritates me how these kind of people can do that to their poor countrymen. Just to think of what they did, instea d of helping their country they made a hole to burry their country…..no heart at all. I hope she will be convicted of the crimes if she really did it.
