Well, if I was a betting person, which I'm not, I would tend to think that THIS time is different (like the girls say about their boyfriends!). I actually think that it would be in the best interests of Leonel's government to crack the whip pretty hard this time, certainly to start like the new broom was sweeping clean. Now whether they would be able or want to persevere to the logical conclusion is a different matter.........if history is anything to go by, 1996 started out in a similar vein & by 2000 it had fizzled. But, my read was that it was the Baninter defence team pushing for these charges, not the government, & if the judiciary is independent of the government (!) then maybe cases will be at least investigated. BTW LIKE the new police chief telling his senior officers to return the recovered stolen cars they had "borrowed"!!
