While the results of the autopsy of the skeletal remains found in Villarino are awaited to confirm whether it is the body of Facundo Astudillo Castro, who has disappeared since April, his mother starred in a strong intersection with journalist Pablo Duggan on the C5N news channel.
"
What you are saying is a lie
, the DNA has not been confirmed," Cristina Castro began accusing.
After the driver's clarification on the correction of the information, Castro accused: "I tell you to
stop lying
and inventing, because they do not have access to the cause, and we do" and added: "I want to tell you that We are certain that this woman (the witness who claims to have transferred a boy similar to the missing youth) has not taken Facundo and we have evidence that it was
the Buenos Aires police who disappeared Facundo
”.
Before the woman's words, Duggan told her that he respects her opinion, that he is not going to argue with her and that he understands that she is angry with him, Castro stopped the conciliatory speech and fired: "
You are a journalist who works for (Sergio) Berni
and it hurts a lot to know that there are people like you, because we are going with the truth and we have enough evidence. "
"When I say that the Buenos Aires Police is involved, it is because it is involved," he insisted.
Regarding the version of the alleged witness, Cristina indicated that "the woman traveled another day and her story does not match," and explained: "The lady is lying or is confused and may even be charged.
She is an old lady and I don't want her to be charged ”.
Duggan then made a discharge on his Twitter account: "Facundo's mother accused me of being a cover-up for not sharing her hypothesis about what happened to Facundo. She is a victim and I do not argue with her despite knowing the file well. Respect his pain, but I do my job. Journalists must follow the evidence. "
Facundo's mother accused me of covering up for not sharing her hypothesis about what happened to Facundo.
He is a victim and I do not argue with him despite knowing the file well.
I respect your pain, but I do my job.
Journalists must follow the evidence.

"The victims can say whatever they want, even get angry with the journalists. I follow the file, not the path that the complaint marks. There is no evidence of police involvement. And there is evidence that Facundo got very close to where he appeared the body, "Duggan added.
And he closed: "They bit me in the Garcia Belsunce case, they bit me in the Nisman case. As you can see, I always look for the truth and I am used to being angry about it. Afterwards, many ask for forgiveness. All good, our work is like that."
