Hoy Romina Luongo’s lawyer spoke, the woman accused by relatives and friends of Tomás Emery for having run over him and abandoned him on the Libertador bridge when the 26-year-old was riding a motorcycle and she was riding a Blue Oryx. The lawyer, Patricia Carou, denied that version and assured: “She provided assistance by calling 911 and then understood that she mightn’t help anymore.”
The fact It happened when Emery was riding a motorcycle through the tunnel of Avenida del Libertador and La Pampa, in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Belgrano, around 7:00 p.m. locked up and shocked the young man, and then would have abandoned him.
Carou explained today in an interview with C5N that Luongo, who works at the Cañuelas court clerk, was driving his car and traveling with his sister, who is a civilian employee of the City Police, and his underage nephew, when he passed over the bridge and saw in the mirror rearview mirror that a young man who was riding a motorcycle was flying through the air until he fell.
“She was a non-eyewitness, she notices in the rearview mirror what happened. She got out and a young man who was with Emery told her to stay away because it wasn’t nice to see the state the boy had been in.. He asked her if they had called 911, they said no, then she returned to the car to ask for police and medical help. After, he understood that his presence was unnecessary and his nephew, who is a very young minor, was very scared and upset, so he decided to leaveCarau explained.
Regarding the first reports on Luongo’s actions, he said: “There are erroneous assessmentsI understand, typical of the anguish of friends and family for not knowing the situation. She didn’t mean to run away.”, he detailed.
“We are talking regarding two public officials who know what their obligations are and who are oblivious to the fact,” he clarified and detailed: “When he learned of the repercussions that the matter had, he wanted to appear that same day, but the prosecutor’s office was closed. We made the car available and the prosecutor’s office understood that it had to be kidnapped in place so that the car would not move and would be in the exact condition in which it was. We handed over the phone and there is the 43-second call that was made at 7:20 p.m., and that appears in the sentence of exemption from prison, ”he explained.
To explain why the release from prison was allowed, he said: “The experts who received the car stated that the motorcycle apparently skidded at the tunnel entrance. because the rear view mirror of the motorcycle and the motorcycle were found a few meters near the motorcycle. It was determined that the car did not touch or lock him up.”
Caraou gave details regarding how his client’s intervention would have been following the incident. “She was coming in the slow lane and the bike was going in the fast lane at excessive speed, they say. Now if she had a mechanical fault, if it was a fault in the floor that caused her to lose her balance and have a fatal blow, we don’t know. All this is the product of the skills that are given in a timely manner, ”she explained.
“Beyond the fact that I am now her legal representative, I am a lifelong friend. The same day that she became aware of the repercussion of the event in the media, she contacted me. I know her characteristics and she is an excellent judicial officer and I know that she would never go on the run,” she said.
“On the camera you can see how she enters the slow lane and the motorcycle enters the fast lane. That is consistent with what she tells me, ”she explained.
Finally, he said that his client is calm, that she is not sorry for having left the scene of the accident and that “she says that she was very shocked by how the boy on the motorcycle flew” at the time of the accident.
