However, the case could not be heard because the plaintiffs' lawyers walked out due to insecurity, according to the reason reported by Me Newton Louis Saint-Juste, one of the lawyers of Me Danton, which qualifies this withdraw of pretext, saying the plaintiffs' folder is empty and they know very well that they have no chance of winning.

Me Newton is convinced that this is an attempt to push his client to resign, in order to bury the investigation of the use of PetroCaribe funds, saying that Me Jean Danton Léger will not resign.
