What began with cross accusations when Diego Armando Maradona's coffin was still in the Casa Rosada, in the midst of the chaotic wake that led to chaos and violence, resulted in a criminal complaint.
It is that the Secretary of Human Rights of the Nation made a presentation in the Buenos Aires justice against the head of the Buenos Aires Government, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, and against Diego Santilli, deputy chief in charge of the Ministry of Justice and Communal Security, for the actions of the Police from the city.
In the complaint, which was presented, it is requested that the highest authorities of the City Government be investigated for the crimes of
public intimidation, abuse of authority and abandonment of person
(articles 211, 248 and 106 of the Penal Code) "by the violent actions carried out by police officers, "said the aforementioned secretariat in a statement.

The presentation includes a compilation of images "that prove the violent and excessive repression," the sources added.
The letter indicates that these images gathered "do not allow us to suppose that the police abuses were individual deviations of some members of the Buenos Aires force."
"The systematic action and violence committed by all of them account for a higher order that ordered the repression in this way: with rubber bullets, gas, fire hydrant trucks and arbitrary arrests," he adds.
The National Human Rights Secretariat filed a criminal complaint against the City Government authorities for the brutal repression carried out by the Buenos Aires police during Maradona's wake at Casa Rosada.

In addition, the complaint clarifies that the National Government did not give any order to repress or clear or detain any person and makes the police forces of the Government of the City of Buenos Aires directly responsible.
The City police detained 11 people allegedly accused of "resisting authority," of which nine have already been released.
