Today, shortly before noon, Justice expects Sebastián Villa, Boca striker accused of rapefinally be inquired in the courts of Lomas de Zamora after weeks of delays and delays. Meanwhile, a potentially shocking piece of evidence comes to light.
The conversation took place in June 2021a year before Tamara Doldan denounced to Villa for sexual abuse. On one side of the phone is Margaritaa close friend of the victim, and the other Felix Benitez, assistant and the right hand of the soccer player. A month had passed since the alleged rape and the striker’s entourage was trying, by all means, prevent the victim from filing a complaint in court. For this reason, in those days and according to statements contained in the case, they were recurring communications from the Colombian striker and his environment with Tamara and her friends.
In the telephone conversation, which was recorded and was attached to the file that investigates the prosecutor Vanesa González, of the UFI No. 3 of Esteban Echeverria, Villa’s assistant tries to persuade the friend. He even offers her medical assistance so that Tamara can hide her injuries: “Sebastian is looking for a solution. If she wants her bruises to be miraculously erased in three days, we go to the best dermatologist and they put the best cream on her”.
Thus, a series of audios resulted that were incorporated by the victim’s lawyer, Robert Castillo, in the last hours. However, in the case it was already known of the existence of the dialogue between Margarita y Benitez. Tamara’s friend was a witness in the file: in her witness statement, she said that she had been contacted and that she had recorded the conversation, but she clarified that she had lost the recording.
After much searching, he finally found the files, which were presented and today illustrate this note.
In the first fragment of the dialogue, Benítez admits that he tried “arrange” with the victim.
“She told me that Sebastian slapped hersays Margaret. To which the assistant replies: “I don’t know that anymore because I wasn’t there, I don’t know that because I left. Now the point of this is that she tried to find a solution, but she didn’t want to. She is angry, she understands”.
Then he adds an even more explicit phrase: “You cannot get on your ass today with a woman, because you have everything to loseso I called her to fix it and it couldn’t be done”.
It is worth remembering that, both in his first written statement and in his oral ratification, Tamara Doldan told that Villa and his entourage tried to give him 5 thousand dollars so that he does not make the complaint. They even gave her the money, but she returned it.
These audios, which Infobae spread for the first time, they would be from the same moment in which the Sebastian Villa try to avoid that Doldan make the complaint. In conversations via Instagram, which were valued as fundamental by prosecutor González in her request for her arrest, the striker also tries to dissuade the victim from the complaint.
“I know that you love me. Don’t do anything weird my life. That you know I can’t give you something to talk about. Do it for my family. I am the daily bread, ”wrote the footballer. Then he added “You know it’s my career, my queen. My family depends on me: my mom, everyone. let’s meet”
Then the soccer player’s right-hand man speaks directly about how a complaint of this type could harm Villa: “I told her (for Tamara) do you want to reach something? Sebastian is looking for a solution. If she wants her bruises to be miraculously erased in three days, we go to the best dermatologist, they put the best cream on her and I apologize. But the mine doesn’t understand any of that. So I told him: ‘Do you want to go the other way, which is to file a complaint?’ Okay. I need you to tell me if you are going to file it, because if you are going to file a complaint, you know that… the black man is in preseason and you know that if you file a complaint they will report it in the press, the other case will come out…”.
When Benítez talks about “the other case”, refers to the case for gender violence initiated by the ex-partner of the Boquense winger Daniela Cortez, in which Villa today hopes to face an oral trial.
In the final part of the talk, Benítez talks about the “responsibility” of the victim for having entered the room with Villa. The assistant says: “While I was in the house, and you were too, she went to the room under her own responsibility. What they have done in there is up to the two of them. Not from social networks, it’s not mine, it’s not Magui’s, it’s not (Carlos) Zambrano’s, it’s not anyone’s”
This test is known a few hours before the Villa’s preliminary statementwhich is due today at 10:30 in the building of Public Prosecutor’s Office of Esteban Echeverría to confront the prosecutor González. If you do and answer questions, these audios can be part of the quiz.
