Reina delayed execution of the order with an appeal to the court to dismiss the charges on the grounds that he was only the honorary head of the games' organizing committee (see NotiCen, 1999-05-20).
Reina's case was bolstered by a brief submitted to the court by state prosecutors arguing that the comptroller general's office exceeded its authority, encroaching on judicial prerogatives in finding against Reina.
However, on Oct. 5, the CSJ agreed with arguments by the comptroller general that Reina had been present and voting at an October 1997 meeting of the organizing committee when the contracts were approved and therefore shared responsibility for the contract irregularities.

 EcoCentral: Central American Economy & Sustainable Development; October 16, 1997
In a radio interview, Jorge Arturo Reina, who is vice president of the National Congress, explained that, during an official trip to Miami, opposition Partido Nacional president Oswaldo Ramos Soto invited him to meet Contreras and his wife, Julie Kou Lai Ng, even though the couple was under suspicion in the case.
Reina explained in the interview that he merely defended the fairness and objectivity of Honduran justice and that the conversation then turned to other matters not pertaining to the Chinazo.
Members of Reina's Partido Liberal have been linked to the Chinazo and the slow progress of the case gives the impression that the administration is content to make political capital out of the accusations against Callejas but is unwilling to press the case to its conclusion.

 Background Notes: Honduras, 3/98
A hallmark of the Reina Administration was his successful efforts to increase civilian control over the armed forces, making his time in office a period of fundamental change in civil-military relations in Honduras.
After a rough start in 1994-95, the Reina Administration substantially increased Central Bank net international reserves, reduced inflation to 12.8% a year, restored a healthy pace of economic growth (about 5% in 1997), and, perhaps most important, held down spending to achieve a 1.1% non-financial public sector deficit in 1997.
Carlos Roberto Flores Facusse took office on January 27, 1998, as Honduras' fifth democratically elected President since free elections were restored in 1981.
