He also talked about a criminal case against a man who killed a man who raped his young daughter and was sentenced to 8 years in prison.
According to the minister Morality should be included in law and the law should be deeply moral. – Today we have the Penal Code and the Code of Criminal Procedure, which interpret the concept of justice as the proportionality of a sentence to the act committed. That's all – said the sensory.
