An Eldorado businessman who served half of the sentence imposed on him for raping two of his children , was benefited from home prison by the Criminal Court of that city, which argued as an argument "the epidemiological and sanitary emergency" that governs from middle of last month in Misiones due to the advance of the coronavirus.
Although from the Justice they determined that Carlos Dalmasso must use an electronic anklet, from the environment of his ex-partner and whistleblower of sexual attacks, they questioned whether the businessman had that electronic device, since it would have been seen outside the home that set as domicile.
The benefit was granted to him by the judges of the Eldorado Criminal Court, Ángel Atilio León, Lyda Gallardo and María Teresa Ramos, and will be in force "for as long as the epidemiological and sanitary emergency declared in safeguard of public health lasts." The magistrates maintained in their resolution that the measure adopted will be "extraordinary in nature and under the regime and requirements established for house arrest." The measure also benefits ten other convicts in the same case.
"The discharge of each will be subject to the use of the relevant electronic bracelet as a method of control," said the judges and also said that a telephone follow-up of the convicted will be carried out to find out their behavior.
In May 2013, Carlos Dalmasso was sentenced to twelve and a half years in prison after proving his responsibility in the sexual abuse of two of his children, who are now 21 and 22 years old. "Sexual abuse with repeated carnal access aggravated by the link, in real competition with threats and the supply of pornographic material to minors under the age of 14" were the crimes that were proved in the judicial process.
Emilce, Dalmasso's former partner and promoter of the criminal process that led to his conviction, maintained that "those of us who were victims of this person are outraged" with the judicial resolution, and assured that from the Court "we were never informed of this request for the defense".
The woman indicated that “he is proven to be a rapist. Justice must know that it released a monster, a psychopath ”. And he asked that “the State preserve society. These benefits can be granted but those people committed non-serious crimes. "
" The victims must be locked up, afraid of the pandemic but now also of these criminals and abusers who are not serving the sentences imposed by Justice," she said indignantly.
In addition to Dalmasso, the Misiones Justice also benefited from the house arrest of another man who is on trial for sexual abuse of his young son . The case, which has not yet come to trial, is being investigated by the Investigating Judge of Puerto Iguazú, Martín Brites, who decided to send the accused home because he has asthma and does not have adequate medical care for this pathology in prison.
The Socialist Mission Party issued a statement referring to the granting of home prisons. "Without wishing to analyze the judicial resolutions that order the sentences to be carried out in the homes, we firmly believe that alternatives must be sought that not only take into account the protection of prisoners against eventual contagions but also, and above all, the care of the physical and psychological integrity of the victims . Ordering house prisons in residences close to the victims in small and medium-sized towns is not only dangerous but also violent for them, due, among other things, to the psychological negative charge that it entails. "
