Báez Sosa case: versions of fights, transfers and “cracks” between the convicted rugby players
The prosecutors who intervened in the trial for the crime filed an appeal on Friday before the Buenos Aires Criminal Cassation Court to request that the three young men receive the same sentence of life imprisonment handed down for the other five convicts.

“In the same way, in the exhibition of Lucas Pertossi’s video, as well as the one that is filmed from the front, they tried to point him out as one of those who was beating Fernando or close to him, but this has not been the case. sufficiently demonstrated”, said the Tribunal, since “its contribution was secondary in the sense that it did not revisit the characteristics of necessary or essential for the realization of the result”.
Lucas Pertossi “filmed the beginning of the attack but not partition at the beginning of the beating”, they summarized and they concluded that he was “out of the central focus of the attack” on Fernando.
