Two mobile phones, one of them undeclared and both with downloads from various social networks, most not allowed. It was the result of the requisition carried out in the pavilion that the femicide Fernando Farré (56) occupies in sector B of the Bahía Blanca prison. The inmates who are considered patients at risk of contracting coronavirus are housed there.
Inspection of the site where he is serving his life sentence was not routine. She was ordered by the Criminal Court No. 2 of San Isidro, which in 2017 convicted him of the femicide of his wife Claudia Schaefer, committed in 2015 in a country in Pilar. A sister of the victim and her daughter had reported that they were harassing them.
The harassment, branded as “ unusual and insistent ” in the judicial presentation, came to them through Facebook profiles with names of people linked to the cause. Sandra Schaefer stated that Farré himself sent her a friend request and it was rejected . And she knew that she had tried to contact her daughter through the same social network, where she tried to get her phone.
With these sayings, the prosecutor Carolina Carballido Calatayud and the lawyer Jorge Sandro, who represents the affected family, made a joint presentation before the San Isidro court on behalf of the women.
The cell phones that kidnapped Farré.
"They do not understand how a person deprived of liberty and sentenced to life imprisonment has in his possession means of communication that allow him to intimidate the victim's immediate family, witnesses to the trial and those close to him, " they argued.
Carballido described the maneuver as " dark cut " and asked for the confiscated man's mobile phone to be seized. On April 15, when the new protocol came into force, which as a result of the pandemic emergency allows inmates to have access to the use of this communication channel, Farré declared that he owned a Samsung SM-G36IF device with a the Movistar company.
When last Thursday the staff of Penal Unit 4 kidnapped him, he took another device, of the same brand and company, although without authorization to be used by Farré. "This instance does not have a data record of the owner of either of the two subscribers," reported the Head of Surveillance and Treatment of the Bahia prison.
Farré used two cell phones and had social networks, something prohibited.
"It is important to note that both cell phones have downloads and activity from other social network applications other than WhatsApp, such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter," added the report sent to Judge Esteban Andrejin. The protocol only allows inmates to use the first application and only in the wards, not in their cells.
In response to the requisition of the phones, Farré's lawyer said that he is the one who manages his client's social networks. Jorge Césaro described the measure ordered by Judge Andrejin as " arbitrary " and requested his recusal.
Fernando Farré and Claudia Schaefer.
From the Buenos Aires Penitentiary Service (SPB) they reported that a disciplinary file was opened for Farré by the undeclared telephone and the use of unauthorized social networks.
Of the 22,000 cell phones enabled throughout the province, so far only six have registered complaints of their use outside the protocol, the source said.
Sandra, sister of Claudia Schaefer (killed by Fernando Farré).
Schaefer's femicide (44) was committed on August 21, 2015, when, together with his lawyer, he had gone to remove his belongings from the weekend house that the couple rented in country Martindale.
Upon entering the dressing room, Farré entered behind her, locked the door and attacked her with two knives that he had taken from the kitchen. According to the autopsy, she inflicted 66 stab wounds and 8 with blows. The cause of death was a slaughter.
