The García Belsunce case is in the popular imagination, and from being in the media so much there is a lot of essential information that is already known.
But there are details of
Carmel: who killed María Marta?
, the Netflix documentary miniseries about the murder of María Marta García Belsunce, which are
surprising because of the unknown or little known
.
The prosecutor and El Zorro
The prosecutor
Diego Molina Pico
is one of the main interviewees of the documentary miniseries.
He remains convinced that Carlos Carrascosa was the author of the crime
and that his actions were covered up by his in-laws.
In the long interview that Alejandro Hartmann did for
Carmel
, he reveals that
the hero of his childhood was El Zorro, a vigilante who was also named Diego
, like him.
He also remembers his years in the navy: he was born into a military family.
His father, Admiral Enrique Emilio Molina Pico, was head of the Navy until 1996.

After a first intervention the night of the murder, in which he allowed the wake and burial of María Marta to continue without ordering an autopsy,
Molina Pico was the one who ordered the exhumation of the body on December 2, 2011
, after taking them statement to Juan Gauvry Gordon and Santiago Biasi, the doctors who examined the body on the day of the alleged accident.
The Juarez cartel
One of the theories investigated by prosecutor Diego Molina Pico was that
María Marta had been assassinated to hide money laundering operations
carried out by Carrascosa and her relatives with the powerful Mexican drug trafficking organization the
Juárez Cartel
.

The prosecutor discovered that the couple had sent money to a bank in New York City, while the financial corralito was in force in Argentina.
They had done it through intermediary banks and people who appeared in other legal cases, in which the money laundering of the Juárez Cartel in the country is being investigated.
But
that track ended up being nothing
.
The motive for the crime was never reliably established, hence the difficulty in finding the perpetrator.
The widower and the vulture funds

Carlos Carrascosa reveals in the documentary that he was a merchant marine and at that time he participated in smuggling
.
Then he became a stockbroker and retired at age 50, such the goal he had set.
He did it after selling two million dollar bonds.
That amount allowed him to make various investments, many of them in land in the country Carmel itself, and to stop working.
The widower confesses that in the 90s he worked selling bonds to vulture funds, but that he was unaware that they were.
"For me at that time they were Canarian funds," he says.
Carrascosa's judicial ups and downs in the case went from one extreme to the other
: in the 2007 trial he was convicted of concealment, in 2009 the Court of Cassation convicted him of the murder, and after seven years of appeals the Supreme Court ordered a comprehensive review of the cause and in 2016 a new ruling detected serious irregularities in the process, acquitted him and recovered his freedom.
