Los two bus drivers who had been arrested for assaulting to the Minister of Security of the province of Buenos Aires, Sergio Berniwere released on the night of this April 6, for which the strike of several bus lines in the western Conurbano was lifted.
José Galiano and Jorge Zerda were releasedalthough the judicial process will continue, following having appeared at the prosecutor’s office located at Paseo Colón at 1300, in the City of Buenos Aires, where “they refused to testify”, according to what was expressed by the lawyer Silvio Piornio.
The two workers had been apprehended for the attack once morest Berni, in the midst of the incidents that occurred last Monday, following the murder of his colleague Daniel Barrientos.
The 55-year-old driver was in command of a line 620 vehicle when he was caught in the middle of a shootout between a plainclothes policeman and two criminals, which occurred inside the vehicle.
After the release, the lawyer stated that “the crime charged once morest them was excarcelablethat’s why they were able to leave, and also there was no criminal record“.
“Evidently, they were both overwhelmedaffected because they had lost a coworker. It is not easy to work in the conditions in which they do, crime is currently very violent,” stressed Piornio, in statements to the channel Chronicle TV.
In addition, the lawyer considered that “there was no attack“, as some government officials slipped, such as Berni himself and the Buenos Aires governor, Axel Kicillofin reference to the episode that led to the death of Barrientos.
