La Secretaría de Inteligencia, a través de su titular Oscar Parrilli y el subsecretario Martín Mena, solicitó una medida cautelar para impedir que la revista Noticias siga publicando nombres de espías e información que según la Ley de Inteligencia Nacional sería secreta porque “compromete la seguridad nacional”.

Según confirmaron fuentes judiciales a la agencia oficial de noticias Télam, en el escrito presentado este mediodía se aclara, citando jurisprudencia de la Corte Suprema, que la denuncia no afecta a la libertad de expresión de la revista propiedad de la Editorial Perfil, dado que se trata de un delito en curso por la publicación, en la última edición de Noticias, de una nómina de 138 supuestos agentes de Inteligencia que habrían ingresado recientemente al organismo. En esa lista, figuraban varios allegados a funcionarios públicos y simpatizantes de la Cámpora.

La denuncia involucra al dueño de editorial Perfil, Jorge Fontevecchia; al editor de la revista, Edi Zunino, y al periodista Rodis Recalt.

La presentación de Parrilli no ahorra críticas al medio: “La línea editorial del medio gráfico involucrado, anterior y posterior a la publicación de la noticia que motiva esta denuncia, evidencia un deliberado desprecio hacia la norma infringida“, dice. Y también que “es llamativa la preocupación que ha despertado en cierto sector del periodismo, del que los denunciados forman parte, la incipiente evolución de la inteligencia nacional hacia paradigmas más transparentes y democráticos”.

En la medida cautelar el Gobierno solicita que los denunciados se abstengan de “realizar publicaciones que impliquen la continuidad del delito atribuido”, y “abstenerse de revelar información a la que de cualquier forma pudieran haber accedido y cuya divulgación infrinja la Ley de Inteligencia”.

A 12-year-old in Texas has been charged with capital murder after allegedly breaking into the home of a professional boxer and killing him. The boy could face a maximum of 40 years if convicted, a sentence that juvenile justice advocates are hoping he can avoid.

Boxer John Duane VanMeter, 24, was killed in his home on Wednesday evening, according to Uvalde, Texas, police, who said a woman in the house called 911 to report someone had broken in and shot her boyfriend.

Witnesses told NBC affiliate News 4 San Antonio that a male was seen running from the residence dressed in black, with a black bandana covering part of his face, before he was transported to Jourdanton Juvenile Detention Center.

Police did not identify the suspect. Numerous legal experts told NBC News they believe he is one of the youngest people to be charged with capital murder, the most serious type of felony.

The capital murder charge differs from first-degree murder in that it typically involves a special circumstance, such as a kidnapping, or the murder of a firefighter or police officer who is on duty.

In the Uvalde boy’s case, prosecutors likely considered the robbery component to be the special circumstance, said Mandy Miller, a Houston-area attorney who represents several juveniles who were convicted of capital murder years ago and are trying to get their sentences reduced.

“It’s a common practice for district attorney’s offices to charge as high as they believe they can possibly make it and work their way down,” Miller, who is not involved in the Uvalde case, said. “This case is obviously going to be complicated.”

In states such as Texas that have the death penalty, crimes by adults charged with capital murder are punishable by death. But a Supreme Court case from 2005 banned capital punishment for juveniles in the United States.

Jason Chein, a psychology professor at Temple University who has studied adolescent brain development and decision-making, said that ruling was one of several important acknowledgments from the Supreme Court of the biological differences between juvenile and adult brains.

“Impulse control is something that we see continuing to develop at least into mid- to late adolescence. You’re going to see improvements in impulse control even up to 16 years old. That’s when it starts to level off and look like that of an adult,” he said.

RALEIGH, N.C. — The Republican in the country’s last undecided congressional election testified Thursday that a political operative now accused of ballot fraud assured him “again and again” that he wouldn’t collect absentee ballots in violation of state law.

GOP congressional candidate Mark Harris described during a special state elections board hearing how he accepted the word of political operative Leslie McCrae Dowless that he was able to get results for candidates because of his relationships in rural Bladen County.

Harris said he met with Dowless in person before hiring him and came away thinking the operative used a labor-intensive process to convince people to request and send mail-in ballots. He said Dowless assured him his operatives would never touch the completed absentee ballots.

“I’ll never forget. He said it again and again. He said: We do not take the ballot,” Harris testified. He was “convinced that it all comes down to relationships.”

Harris said after a single meeting he believed Dowless and local GOP political leaders that Dowless’ methods were legal. That was despite repeated warnings from his son that data showed the operative was likely crossing legal lines and exposing ballots to potential manipulation. Harris said he never investigated further and never checked whether the results Dowless claimed to be delivering were real.

A Harris text message revealed Thursday from March 2017 indicated he wanted a local political ally to introduce him to Dowless because had Dowless worked on Harris’ unsuccessful 2016 primary campaign it “could have put me in the US House this term, had I known, and he had been helping us.”

Lawyers for Harris have argued in legal briefs that the board should certify his November victory and send him to Washington. Democrat Dan McCready’s lawyers contend the race was tainted and a new election should be ordered.

McCready trailed Harris by 905 votes out of about 280,000 cast in November’s election, but then allegations surfaced that in the eastern corner of the 9th congressional district, Dowless was manipulating mail-in ballots.

North Carolina’s elections director said this week that Dowless conducted an illegal and well-funded ballot-harvesting operation during the 2018 election cycle while working for Harris. Dowless’ workers in rural Bladen County testified they were directed to forge signatures, collect blank or incomplete ballots voters handed over, and even fill in votes for local candidates who hadn’t earned them.

In testimony Wednesday, the candidate’s son, John Harris, said he’d warned his father about Dowless’ operation since mid-2016.

John Harris said his warnings were overridden because local Republican figures recommended Dowless to Mark Harris, who was gearing up for a primary rematch against incumbent GOP U.S. Rep. Robert Pittenger. Mark Harris and his wife met Dowless in April 2017, when Dowless insisted his method for maximizing mail-in vote results was legal and grounded in local relationships, John Harris said Wednesday.

Local politicians knew and had used Dowless since at least 2010, and the community had even voted him to a local soil and water conservation board, Harris’ lawyer, David Freedman, said. Harris largely went along with those local recommendations, the attorney said.

“I think he’s much too trusting,” Freedman said.

Mark Harris previously told The Associated Press he sought out and hired Dowless because he delivered votes, including for a Republican rival in the 2016 GOP primary. Harris said he discussed with an attorney after that primary whether to challenge Dowless’ incredible results for a GOP rival with mail-in ballots in Bladen County. Dowless’ methods in the 2016 general election were referred to federal prosecutors, who took no action.

Friday night stayed mostly quiet in Los Angeles, but street protests erupted into violence in several cities across the US, most prominently in New York, Chicago and Portland, Oregon.

The night protests were in response to the Kyle Rittenhouse acquittal in Kenosha, Wisconsin earlier in the day. More protests are expected today and Sunday.

On Friday night:

  • In the New York borough of Queens, there were at least five arrests and some property damage. Hundreds marched across the Brooklyn Bridge to Manhattan on Friday night, blocking traffic after the verdict.
  • In Portland, Oregon, police declared a riot in the downtown area near the Multnomah County Justice Center, authorities said. Rioters smashed a window on a city print shop and the rear window of a police vehicle.
  • Chicago saw a mob attack a Neiman Marcus store on the Magnificent Mile. A GameStop on the South side also was invaded.
  • San Francisco saw six arrests in the Union Square shopping district. A Louis Vuitton store was “emptied out,” according to a report. Other looting and vandalism in that area was reported.

It’s no surprise that former Gov. Andrew Cuomo was criminally charged with a sex-related rap, but actually nailing him on it will be tricky, legal experts told The Post on Friday.

Karen Friedman-Agnifilo, who used to lead the sex-crimes unit in the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, described the damning report on Cuomo issued by the state attorney general in August “very thorough.”

“I’m not surprised criminal charges were filed, given the report,’’ she said, noting that Cuomo’s account of what happened between him and a younger female former underling was deemed “not credible” by James’ investigators.

Meanwhile, the report found accuser Brittany Commisso credible, making her claims a “prosecutable case,’’ Friedman-Agnifilo explained.

“It boils down to, ‘Do you believe her?’ ” the former top prosecutor said.

Commisso, 33, filed a report with the Albany County Sheriff’s Office in August alleging that Cuomo, 63, groped her under her blouse.

A source noted that New York City’s subways have been plagued for years by forcible-touching cases — to the point where Cuomo, while still in office in January 2020, pushed to have serial perverts banned from the transit system.

“This is not unusual. It just doesn’t get a lot of press,” said the source. “We prosecute many, many cases of subway perverts.”

AG Letitia James’ report found Brittany Commisso credible, making her claims a “prosecutable case.”

The sheriff’s office filed a misdemeanor criminal complaint against Cuomo on Thursday based on Commisso’s claims — which were part of a slew that had been made by women against the then-governor. Cuomo is required to appear in court for his first hearing involving Commisso’s case Nov. 17.

Top defense lawyer Peter Frankel told The Post that the disgraced ex-governor’s history at the helm of the state for a decade could complicate things.  

“Generally, any time you have a high-profile defendant, there are always extra challenges for the prosecution,’’ Frankel said.

“Sometimes jurors find it more difficult to convict individuals when they have positive, preconceived notions or feelings about them that are not identified during jury selection.

“The flip side is that in this case, I do believe that the government has a strong case supported by a very credible witness and other corroborating evidence,’’ Frankel said.

“Accordingly, I do think this is something he needs to take seriously.”

Kevin Kearon, a former Nassau County prosecutor on Long Island, said Cuomo’s stance as a public figure could actually hurt him, too.

“There might be pressure on a prosecutor not giving favorable treatment to a former governor,” Kearon said.

But the lawyer noted that Cuomo would be a first-time offender if convicted, so that could help him negotiate a plea leading to a non-criminal infraction.

Julie Rendelman, a former Brooklyn assistant district attorney who handled sex crimes as a prosecutor, agreed, saying that while she expects Cuomo to initially plead not guilty, it’s “always possible to get a resolution before trial.

“This is a first arrest for a forcible touching, and in normal circumstances, it is not unusual to see a plea to a non-criminal resolution, a violation that’s not a crime or an ACD, and  adjournment in contemplation of dismissal,’’ Rendelman told The Post.  

“That’s not to say this is going to happen in this case,’’ she said. “One could imagine a scenario where he wouldn’t admit to any wrongdoing whatsoever.

“If he does not plead to something, the next step would be … to hand over all discovery, all police reports, everything.

“Look, it’s on the prosecution to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt, and at the end of the day, it really is going to be about her word.”

Prominent defense lawyer Jeffrey Lichtman, whose clients include the wife of notorious Mexican drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo’’ Guzman, asserted that sadly, “The chances of a conviction are very low.”

“These he said/she said sex cases are extremely difficult for a prosecutor to win, exacerbated by the likelihood of at least some Cuomo supporters on the jury,’’ Lichtman said.

“This is a political prosecution, period — and I detest Andrew Cuomo.”

Ricardo Rosselló announced his resignation in a televised statement

Puerto Rico’s Governor Ricardo Rosselló has announced his resignation after days of mass street protests in the US territory.

Mr Rosselló, who had only on Sunday insisted he would stay on, said he would continue working until 2 August to allow an orderly transition.

He has been at the centre of a group text message scandal that has already led two top officials to resign.

The leaked messages revealed sexist, profane and homophobic comments.

Crowds celebrated the announced resignation on the streets of the capital San Juan

The chat, which contained 880 pages of exchanges between the governor and 11 male allies, was leaked on 13 July and led to days of protests outside the governor’s mansion in San Juan.

What did Governor Rosselló say?

He recorded a video statement that was broadcast on Wednesday evening.

“I announce that I will be resigning from the governor’s post effective Friday, 2 August at 5pm,” Mr Rosselló said.

“I feel that to continue in this position would make it difficult for the success that I have achieved to endure,” he added.

Mr Rosselló’s announcement triggered celebrations on the streets of the capital San Juan.

On Monday, hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets, demanding Mr Rosselló’s immediate resignation.

The 40-year-old governor is leader of the New Progressive Party, a Puerto Rican political party which advocates US statehood.

Mr Rosselló will be replaced by the US Caribbean island territory’s Justice Secretary Wanda Vazquez.

Protesters had been calling for Mr Rosselló to step down over the leaked chats as well as allegations of government corruption

On Sunday, in an attempt to appease protesters, he said he would not seek re-election next year.

“I hear you,” Mr Rosselló said in a Facebook video. “I have made mistakes and I have apologised.”

“I know that apologising is not enough,” he added.

What are the secret messages?

Several of the texts mock victims of Hurricane Maria, which devastated the island in 2017 and may have led to more than 4,000 deaths.

In one instance, Mr Rosselló criticised the former speaker of the New York City Council, Melissa Mark-Viverito, saying people should “beat up that whore”.

When the island’s chief fiscal office wrote that he was “salivating to shoot” the mayor of San Juan, Mr Rosselló replied: “You’d be doing me a grand favour.”

Media captionRicky Martin gave his support to Puerto Rican protesters

What has been the reaction to the scandal?

Local newspaper El Nuevo Día called on the governor to resign in its Monday editorial.

“Puerto Rico has spoken up, not only as a strong, broad and united voice, but as the right voice,” the editorial said. “With a gesture of nobility and humility, Governor, it is time to listen to the people. You have to resign.”

San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz said in a Twitter message on Monday: “They can’t deny it: The power is in the street.”

Singer Ricky Martin, who was targeted in the secret messages, was among those calling for the governor to resign, as well as Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda and reggaeton star Bad Bunny.

“They mocked our dead, they mocked women, they mocked the LGBT community, they made fun of people with physical and mental disabilities, they made fun of obesity. It’s enough. This cannot be,” Martin said in a video on Twitter.

Protesters gathered to march on one of the island’s busiest highways

The island’s political crisis also made headlines throughout mainland US. Many echoed the New York Times editorial board, which wrote that the “callousness and partisan self-dealing” exposed by the messages serve as exorbitant strain for the long-suffering island, effectively “rubbing salt into a long-festering wound”.

“The Puerto Rican people have no use for petty political feuding,” the New York Times wrote. “Their territory is struggling under the weight of government corruption, incompetence and indifference. Having been failed by their leaders at every level, they are out of patience. They deserve better.”

US President Donald Trump has also called on the governor to resign.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson is to become one of the first owners of the coin on Friday when Sajid Javid, the chancellor of the Exchequer, plans to hand one over. Seven million more will come into use later in the year.

But as with almost everything Brexit-related, the short history of the coin, which has a face value equivalent to about 65 cents, has already been fraught. Production began ahead of a previously planned departure on Oct. 31, but when Brexit was pushed back to January, over a million coins had to be melted down.

When re-dated coins were unveiled, some people called for a boycott, either to display opposition to Brexit or because they find the message on the coin grammatically offensive.

“The ‘Brexit’ 50p coin is missing an Oxford comma, and should be boycotted by all literate people,” the novelist Philip Pullman wrote on Twitter, arguing that the inscription should instead read “Peace, prosperity, and friendship with all nations.”

In an opinion article published across the European press, the presidents of the three main European Union institutions called Brexit Friday a “new dawn” for Europe.

After offering kind words on Britain’s departure, Ursula von der Leyen of the European Commission, Charles Michel of the European Council and David Sassoli of the European Parliament tried to strike an upbeat tone.

“We need to look to the future and build a new partnership between enduring friends,” they wrote. “Together, our three institutions will do everything in their power to make it a success. We are ready to be ambitious.”
