The young victim of group abuse in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Palermo, which this week marks one year, received a threatening video from one of the defendants who has been detained since February 2022.
Hugo Figueroa and Osvaldo Cantoro, the lawyers assisting the woman, denounced the case before the Oral Criminal Court (TOC) 14, which will be in charge of the oral trial that still does not have a start date.
The presentation points once morest Thomás Fabián Domínguez (22), although it also mentions his mother, and the mother and sister of Steven Alexis Cuzzoni (20), another of the detainees, for his appearances on February 10 on the program Every Afternoon which is broadcast on Channel 9. The lawyers stated that from the day of that TV program, their assistant “began to receive various messages on social networks”, but they stressed that “what is worrying regarding this situation” was that “Thomás Domínguez himself contacted her through her Instagram profile.
The lawyers reported that the message the girl received came from the “THplugg” profile, which belongs to Domínguez and which consisted of a link to a 36-minute video entitled Palermo Case: It was all a lie, in which an influencer analyzes the testimonies and videos of the case, defends the defendants and considers them innocent.
“For the defendant himself to send the video to the car victim would seem more than harassment,” the lawyers pointed out and for this reason he asks TOC 14 “to request a perimeter regarding the contact that the accused and their families might have with the victim of cars”.
The event occurred on the Carnival holiday of February 28 of last year, at 1300 Serrano Street, in the Palermo Soho area, where a couple of bakers and another neighbor intervened when they saw that inside a Volkswagen Gol car parked next to the sidewalk was abusing a girl in a group, they confronted them and called the police. In addition to the aforementioned Domínguez and Cuzzoni, the other four defendants are Ángel Pascual Ramos (24), Lautaro Dante Ciongo Pasotti (25), Franco Jesús Lykan (24) and Ignacio Retondo (23). All are serving pretrial detention in federal prisons.
