Facundo Astudillo Castro wanted to meet his ex-girlfriend, Daiana, in Bahía Blanca. That is why on April 30 he hitchhiked from Pedro Luro, despite the fact that his mother, Cristina Castro, was opposed to this "toxic" relationship.

Since the 22-year-old's disappearance was known, Daiana's family never wanted to speak publicly about the case. Until this Wednesday, when the girl's brother, Marcelo, reported that the Buenos Aires Police, the same one that is under suspicion in the case, pressured and threatened him to involve him.

The man assured that he is "having problems with police harassment" since mid-June, when the agents went to look for him at his home "without any notification" and took him to the local section, where he was "squeezed" to implicate him and his sister - Facundo's ex-girlfriend - in the case.

In fact, federal prosecutor Santiago Ulpiano Martínez ordered that an investigation be opened to determine whether any irregularity was committed in that raid on the house of this witness.

Facundo Astudillo Castro: baqueanos from the Villarino area collaborated with the PFA in a rake in the area where they found a body.

"All the time threatening, they told me that I had to say that Facundo was in Bahía Blanca , that he had to speak," González said, adding that the head of the force in the nearby town of Pedro Luro, who was also there, told him He warned that "if he didn't speak" he was going to have to " slap some slaps and there he was going to have to sing."

"They want to clean up the problem that they created with us, involve innocent people and get rid of the problem. I still don't understand how in quarantine, when we were in phase one, they let it continue, with so many police checkpoints," he added.

In addition, he commented that the second time he testified in front of the federal prosecutor Ulpiano Martínez added some details about what had happened to him, but that he felt "very scared" and "did not want to speak for safety."

"Over time I began to have communication with Cristina (Facundo's mother) and her lawyer Leandro Aparicio, I am going to consult with him to see what path I have to follow, I plan to make a complaint about what I am living," he said.

In this sense, the man assured that he remembers "perfectly" the faces of the four policemen he is targeting and that "he can make an examination."

González said that he is "terrified", that "having to live a situation like this in a democracy is regrettable" and said that he plans to move "for security reasons."

The shoe found 30 meters from the body that is presumed to be Facundo Astudillo Castro.

In addition, he asked that the case of his former brother-in-law "be quickly clarified."

"The truth is that it gives me a lot of anger, I am an honest person, poor but honest, hard-working, all my life I lived from my work, I never had problems with the Justice, I have no criminal record, and having to go through this situation terrifies me, I feel unprotected, "he said.

On Saturday evening they found a skeletonized and semi-buried body in the area of ​​Villarino Viejo, near the sea. Next Tuesday the autopsy will be done in the laboratory of the Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team (EAAF), in the former ESMA, in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Núñez.

It is estimated that the complete identification of the remains will take between 30 and 60 days. In any case, Castro is convinced that it corresponds to her son and points out that the Buenos Aires city planted her in that kangaroo.
