How high is the probability that gunpowder residue will be found in the hands of a soldier working in a barracks with a firearm? This Tuesday, in a criminal office of the Gendarmerie, an expert will be carried out to look for traces of gunpowder in the hands of soldier Pablo Gabriel Jesús Córdoba (21), found dead while on guard duty two months ago in the 16th Artillery Group in Zapala.
The test, the results of which are anticipated in advance and therefore it is not determinativewas ordered by the judge of the case, Hugo Horacio Greca, challenged by the soldier’s family for alleged partiality in favor of the Army.
Greca, federal judge of Roca and surrogate in Zapala, rejected the challenge and imposed summary secrecy only for Pablo’s family. The lawyer Maximiliano Orpianessi announced that he will not appear today at the Gendarmerie building in Buenos Aires where the expert opinion will be carried out with his own specialists because did not receive a response to their requests for authorization.
The federal prosecutor of Zapala, Karina Martínez Stagnaro, can access the file but You are prohibited from talking regarding what has or has not been done since July 18, when the judge imposed the secrecy. This Tuesday you can order your lifting or extend it.
An opinion without surprises
The expertise in the hands of Pablo, whose final results will be known in 30 to 45 days, will not throw surprises. The young man was found dead with two shots to the head and a FAL rifle on his chest, or 90 centimeters away (The witnesses have serious contradictions on this point, and the Army chiefs pressured them to align their statements).
The magazine was on one leg, and there were several shells scattered regarding. To some they found them in subsequent searches, days later. It is unknown if these irregularities are part of the secret investigation.
Pablo was found still alive, around 6 in the morning of June 1, and they performed CPR on him, so the scene was altered.
Gunpowder everywhere
Those who manipulated his body are soldiers, the young man had a weapon in his hands because he was on guard duty, the barracks itself is an arsenal, so the strange thing would be that the expertise was negative regarding the presence of traces of gunpowder on the victim’s hands.
What you have to look for is something else, as good homicide investigators consulted by black river newspaper.
New march in Zapala
Meanwhile, for this Tuesday a new march is planned in Zapala summoned by Pablo’s parents to request that Judge Greca leave the file.
Like the previous ones, it will start from Puesto Roca and end in front of the federal courthouse of the city, to which the magistrate traveled only once in these two months.
