According to HRW, on Sunday June 3, an interview with Graterol was aired on TV show Yo prometo (I promise), hosted by journalist Nitu Perez Osuna on news TV channel Globovision. In the interview, Graterol questioned the judiciary. His remarks, according to sources in the judicial system, were not welcomed by the judicial authorities. Consequently, the chairwoman of the Judicial Circuit of Vargas state allegedly ordered Graterol's arrest.
