The defense of Julio “Chocolate” Rigauthe leader of the 48 debit cards, presented this Friday a proposal before the Court of Appeals of La Plata to insist that they grant him exemption from prison. Hours following the Buenos Aires Police went to look for him at his home in La Plata and might not find himhis lawyers assured that “he has not hindered the investigation in any way nor is it his intention to do so.”
The brief was presented hours following the arrest attempt failed following the Justice order. In the text, the defenders explained that “Currently (Rigau) resides with his wife” that “he is convalescing at his family home from a serious and advanced heart disease, undergoing several surgical interventions and with a reserved prognosis.”
The defense told this media that Rigau was at his house during the morning and pointed out that he does not have any restrictions to roam freely, so “he may have gone out or met with friends.”
They ordered the reopening of the investigation into “Chocolate” Rigau and might ask for the reopening of his phone
The eight-page document to which PERFIL agreed was presented before the Court of Guillermo Atencio, which comes from rejecting a request for exemption from prison. Since they appealed, the magistrate must review the admissibility and send it to the Court of Appeals to determine whether or not it is valid. The defense is confident that they should not detain “Chocolate” until the case is resolved.
The details of the request requested by Rigau’s defense
To resolve the request, the lawyers Alfredo Gascón, Miguel Ángel Molina and Alfredo Gascón indicated that “in order to neutralize the danger of flight, it is pertinent to indicate that the penalty in expectation of the crime attributed to our client, repeated frauds, 177 completed acts and 45 attempted acts, all of them in real competition with each other (…) It has a penalty whose minimum allows, in the event of a conviction, (…) a shame that can be left in suspense“.
Later, in the letter they stated that Rigau offers Justice a “personal or real surety to the extent of its possibilities” as collateral.
Among them, the possibility of serving under house arrest. “He undertakes to comply with the rules of conduct that are considered relevant (passport delivery) or to undergo house arrestwhich allows us to overturn any foundation referring to the risk of flight,” they stated.
In the presentation that was uploaded to the system on Friday followingnoon, They asked the Justice to take into account Rigau’s family situation when deciding, in relation to the complicated health status of his partner. In the letter they stated, among other issues, that the woman “It is in a delicate state due to flow losses. blood and their markedly limited physical activity” by a obesity picture.
In the opinion of the lawyers, this situation “deserves special treatment” and “and it is a preponderant factor for the obligations of the State.”
“Chocolate” Rigau: the judges who released him might define what will happen to the leading man’s cell phone
“From the present case there does not arise, from the clarifications made, any objective indication that Julio Rigau will try to hinder the process, since Your personal and affiliation data are known, as well as your real address and the place where you carry out work tasks.. And in addition, it offers bail as well as compliance with rules of conduct,” they stated in the presentation.
They insisted, along these lines, that “Chocolate” will not seek “evade or hinder investigation nor circumvent the action of justice.”
Yesterday, the Court of Cassation granted the appeal of prosecutor Héctor Vogliolo once morest a ruling by the Court of Appeals of September 21 that freed him by maintaining that the police procedure that initiated the case had been irregular. With that setback, the case returned to Judge Atencio and the prosecutor’s instructions. Lacki females.
Rigau, who at the time of writing this article was still free, was detained for 12 days following being found red-handed in an ATM at the Banco Provincia in La Plata: He had $1.2 million and 48 legislative employee debit cards with him. Beyond the setback that it received in the last hours from the Cassation, Rigau’s defense managed to stop a key expert report to his cell phone, where investigators hoped to find key evidence. That study would finally be done on October 20.
