AI generated

The Administrative Court annulled the disciplinary penalty against Olga Pacheco, ruling it violated the law by relying on facts where the right to a disciplinary procedure had already expired. The respondent, the SEA of the Ministry of Justice, argued for the penalty's validity, but the court found the disciplinary action time-barred under the Disciplinary Statute. Consequently, the penalty was declared void because it was based on facts that no longer permitted a disciplinary process.
