In the preview of the last day of hearings of the trial that takes place in the Courts of Dolores once morest the eight rugbiers accused of killing Fernando Baez Sosa, a new video was released that shows the complete sequence of the attack that ended with the young man dead. .
The images were recorded by the security dome of the municipality of Villa Geselllocated at the intersection of Avenida 3 and Buenos Aires street, a few meters from the Le Brique bowling alley.
In this way, at 4:32 at dawn on January 18, 2020, you can see Fernando across the street, shirtless, from right to left, following all those involved in the discussion that took place inside the dance venue had already been thrown out by security personnel. Barely a minute later, three police officers meet near the access door to Le Brique and talk, but still without any emergency or intervention.
At 4:36 you can see in the images how Police disperse those currently accused in the case to the corner from Buenos Aires street. However, a few moments later, the rugby players are back in their steps and cross to the left side, where Báez Sosa was with his friends.
Immediately followingwards, at 4:44 in the morning, they notify the officers that there is another disturbance around the corner from Le Brique and the troops leave the bowling alley area. A few seconds later, the attack begins that ended with the death of Báez Sosa. Just a few minutes later, at 4:45 a.m., a young man can already be seen walking away from the conflict zone and clutching his head because of the ferocious beating he was witnessing.
The film record continues and at 4:46 the rugbiers can be seen in the lower part of the recording, under the roof of the Cipriany grill, retiring while two hug each other in celebration following the fight. A few minutes later, the policemen run in the direction of Buenos Aires street, in the same direction in which the now accused had left the place.
Finally, at 5:05 a cell phone from the rescue unit and then two police vans are added.
After the dissemination of the new video, an unprecedented record to date, the lawyer for the victim’s family, Fernando Burlando, He stated that this is one more piece of evidence than those that occurred during the process. “The evidence increased fivefold,” said the lawyer.
In addition, Burlando harshly criticized the position established by the defendants and their families during the last hearings. Between Monday and Tuesday of this week, when the process resumes, Máximo Thomsen and Ciro Pertossi decided to break in with their testimonies in the middle of the oral trial. The defendants finally agreed to testify, offered their version of the events and emphasized that it was a fight in which they did not intend to kill. Faced with this, the defender of the Baez Sosa family stressed that it is simply a defensive strategy.
“Do you think I can tolerate that they disrespect Fernando’s family in this way, that they lie to their faces, in a mendacious way?”said the lawyer in an angry tone, in statements to TN.
In the same way, Burlando remarked that the strategy to seek to mitigate the guilt of the aggressors is clearly observed in some of his sentences. “This expression of Ciro Pertossi, when he refers to “I didn’t give him that last kick”, it is true it is a dismissive kick, but Fernando was already lying lifeless on the floor”, Burlando insisted, alluding to one of the most resonant points of the rugbier’s statement that, together with Thompsen, is more complicated in the cause.
During the last days, some of the relatives of the accused also made statements in the framework of the oral trial. María Paula Cinalli defined the case as “a disgrace”, while Rosalía Zárate, mother of Máximo Thomsen spoke of “a nightmare” and drowned in tears. After listening to his mother, Thomsen disarmed in her chair. He cried first and asked to testify later. Silvino and Graciela Báez Sosa were not present in the room to listen to them: they left earlier.}
