  •  
    Xalapa.- En Veracruz se modificará el Código Penal y la perturbación del orden público será un delito menor, por lo que Gilberto Martínez Vera y María de Jesús Bravo Pagola, acusados de terrorismo por infundir miedo, temor y zozobra el pasado 25 de agosto a través de mentiras en las redes sociales, podrían salir bajo fianza de inmediato, aseguró el Secretario de Gobierno Gerardo Buganza Salmerón.   En conferencia de prensa, dijo que el gobernador Javier Duarte de Ochoa envió al Congreso del Estado una iniciativa de ley para incluir un artículo en el Código Penal y castigar la perturbación del orden público con una sanción menor a la de "terrorismo", consignada en el artículo 311.

Veracruz proposes lesser charges for Twitter terrorism suspects - latimes.com - 0 views

  •  
    The state of Veracruz in Mexico wants to change its penal code to apply a lower charge against the jailed Twitter and Facebook users accused of terrorism for spreading unconfirmed rumors of an attack on local schools (link in Spanish). A proposed change in Veracruz's laws would permit the government to punish the two social-networking users now behind bars, but for a lesser offense of "disruption of public order," rather than the original charges of terrorism and sabotage. Those charges carry a maximum sentence of 30 years.

Angola and Portugal: Role reversal | The Economist - 0 views

  •  
    Vying with Nigeria to be Africa's largest producer of crude oil, Angola is awash with Chinese credit to the tune of $14.5 billion. The IMF reckons its GDP will grow by 7.8% this year and 10.5% next. Portuguese building companies such as Teixeira Duarte, Soares de Costa and Mota Engil have been switching from the home market to Angola's. Portuguese banks dominate Luanda's financial sector. But the tables may be turning. Now Angolan state and private investors are eyeing Portugal. Angola's Banco BIC, part-owned by Isabel dos Santos, the eldest daughter of Angola's president of 32 years, José Eduardo dos Santos, is to buy Portugal's Banco Português de Negócios (BPN) for $58m, a fifth of the original asking price of $260m. The IMF made the sale of BPN a condition for Portugal to get its recent bail-out of $113 billion.
