Dr. Gabriel Lucio Giordano, a well-known lawyer from Río Gallegos, confirmed that Fabián Gutiérrez's family contacted him to advance as plaintiffs in the case that is being processed in the Investigating Court of El Calafate. And he already gave his first definitions: he insisted on the crime of the former secretary of Cristina Kirchner as a "brutal murder" and asked "to legally qualify as homicide aggravated by treachery and premeditation ". Judge Carlos Narvarte, who is leading the case, has so far spoken of "passionate" and "extortive" motivations.

The family's lawyer also sought to separate any type of hypothesis from the crime that points to a political issue. And he even released the vice president. "We have ruled out that this crime is related to Vice President Cristina Kirchner," he told the La Nación newspaper.

The figure that Giordano claimed to accuse the accused of the murder, for example, is the one that was used to accuse the rugbiers who killed Fernando Báez Sosa and provides for the harshest penalties in the Penal Code.

The lawyer announced through his social network that he was at the forefront of the complaint. Giordano was an investigating prosecutor and also a prosecutor of the Criminal Chamber of trials in Río Gallegos. At the time, he was questioned by the opposition in Santa Cruz for several of his rulings: they accused him of favoring "friends of power". 

As investigative prosecutor, Giordano had issued an opinion in favor of the dismissal of the late former President Néstor Kirchner, former Santa Cruz Governor Daniel Peralta and businessman Lázaro Báez in a case for price premiums and corruption in public work in Santa Cruz . The cause had been initiated by the legislator of the CC ARI Mariana Zuvic. Giordano had considered that the works of Austral Construcciones SA were done in a timely manner.

Another of the causes that Giordano had to his credit was when the current governor of Santa Cruz, Alicia Kirchner, was the target of an "escrache" in 2007 in the midst of a teaching conflict in that province. It was a protracted wage conflict between teachers and the Santa Cruz government. In a rapid judicial advance of the complaint presented by the sister of the former president, then Minister of Social Development of the Nation, as prosecutor Giordano asked that the filming of the TV channels that recorded the incidents be seized and pointed to three lawyers, among them the legal representative of Adosac - teachers' union in Santa Cruz -, amid insistent versions of imminent arrests.

Regarding the investigation of the Gutiérrez murder, there are two strong judicial controversies already installed . On the one hand, the motivation of the crime: if it is an extortion and passionate issue, more related to the private life of the former secretary K than to her condition of repentance in the case of the notebooks of bribes, where she complicated the. and whether the case should remain in the orbit of provincial justice, as it has been up to now, or go to federal jurisdiction as claimed by the opposition, among other things because the current prosecutor in the case is a niece of Cristina Kirchner.
