The Federal Chamber of Cassation
signed the prosecution and embargo for 50 million pesos
to Eric Torales, the young man who went with coronavirus on a 15th birthday as soon as he returned from the United States on March 14, 2020.
The highest federal criminal court in the country
rejected two appeals for the defense
of the 25-year-old defendant, who has a prosecutor's request to be prosecuted for "culpable spread of a dangerous and contagious disease" aggravated by "having resulted in illness and death." judicial sources informed Télam.
Court I of Cassation rejected the complaints against the confirmation of the prosecution by the Federal Court of Appeals of San Martín, on November 9 of last year and the embargo of 50 million pesos that was set.
Cassation chambermaids Ana Maria Figueroa, Daniel Petrone and Diego Barroetaveña
also rejected another motion for the nullity of that prosecution.
Road to oral trial
Torales has a request to send him to an oral trial by the Morón federal prosecutor's office, due to what happened at the party of 15 when
19 guests were
infected
, including his grandfather, who died.
"Taking into account that it is duly verified that the accused violated the mandatory isolation that he had to comply with by virtue of the provisions of DNU 260/2020, I consider that he must also answer for the crime of violation of measures adopted by the competent authorities to prevent the introduction or spread of a pandemic ", concluded the prosecutor Santiago Marquevich in the request of elevation to trial.
The complaint was presented by the mayor of Moreno, Melina Fernández, because the party took place in that jurisdiction and days later, on March 19,
SAME received the first five calls from guests with symptoms.
Torales traveled to the United States on February 25, 2020
and returned on March 13, when he was informed that he had to isolate himself for returning from a country that, at that time, was considered "an area affected by the coronavirus."
The accused went to the birthday and, two days later, he attended a clinic in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Belgrano with symptoms, where the diagnosis of positive coronavirus was confirmed.
