The complaint also requested 10 years of disqualification for the former director of the La Trinidad Sanatorium in Palermo, Roberto Martingano, accused of the crime of concealment. In this debate, a surgical instrument technician is also judged.
The arguments have already begun in the trial of Débora Pérez Volpin for concealment and false testimony once morest Roberto Martingano, former director of the La Trinidad Sanatorium in Palermo, and Miriam Frías, the surgical instrument technician who treated her.
Almost six years following the journalist’s death, the complaint requested 3 years in prison for Martingano for cover-up and 10 years of disqualification from holding the position of medical director. In addition, 3 years in prison for false testimony for Frías, as reported by Marcelo Bonelli on his X account (former Twitter).
“We came to this trial with a court that did not have a judge. The family trusted the clinic and the doctors. Three hours following Débora’s death he was already carrying out the cover-up. From then on we didn’t trust anyone else. We have a trial, the evidence produced, the allegations and in a week we will have the sentence,” explained the family’s lawyer, Diego Pirota.
The words of the lawyer of the former director of the sanatorium
Roberto Martingano’s defense lawyer, Vadim Mischanchuk, maintained that “the complaint is giving a completely different version of what happened at the trial.”
According to him, “the evidence produced in the oral trial does not support his position since it was proven that the questions directed at the former director were wrong.” “They attributed conduct to him that he did not carry out and as if that were not enough, they had nothing to do with the development of the case,” Mischanchuk said.
What happened to Débora Pérez Volpin
The journalist died on February 6, 2018 in La Trinidad de Palermo. In August 2019, the endoscopist Diego Bialolenkier was sentenced to 3 years of conditional prison without effective compliance for manslaughter, while the anesthetist Nélida Puente was acquitted in the case, given that “she had no intervention in the fatal result of the medical study.” .
Meanwhile, Martingano, the director of the clinic, was accused of having delivered to Justice an “endoscope processing machine” with the serial numbers “filed.” That prevents knowing the authenticity of that machine as well as verifying whether it was changed following the journalist’s death.
He was also accused of having stolen information from the Justice Department regarding whether the patient was connected to the electrocardiogram at the time of the study. The suspicion is that, at the request of Justice, the machine was changed to prevent the real one from being examined. When the first hearing of this new trial took place, Martingano sat in front of the Oral Criminal Court 26 and omitted to give explanations. Something that the instrumentalist Frías did.
