The Argentine golfer Ángel Pato Cabrera asked the Brazilian authorities on Wednesday to be immediately transferred to Córdoba to be brought to justice for the facts that are charged to him, according to
the defense attorney detained in a Rio de Janeiro jail
, informed
Clarín.
Carlos Hairabedian.
In the absence of unforeseen circumstances, Cabrera could be transferred in the next few hours to Córdoba and will immediately be detained in the Bower jail until the allegations of the trial begin.
As soon as he arrives in Argentina, he will have to do several days of isolation due to Covid_19.
The Córdoba court sent the request for the extradition of
Pato
Cabrera, who was housed in a Rio de Janeiro jail,
to the Brazilian Foreign Ministry
after being detained last January by local police and Interpol officers.
The Cordovan was not extradited so far because the Brazilian Justice and the Foreign Ministry had not yet issued on the matter.
And Cabrera told Hairabedian that he did not want to wait any longer in Rio de Janeiro and return to Argentina.
Another issue: the deputy attorney general Héctor David issued a favorable decision for the extradition of Cabrera within the framework of the international treaty in force between Argentina and Brazil since 1961. For this reason, the extradition process will be approved by the Brazilian authorities regardless of the delays.

Cabrera was a
fugitive from justice since August 2020 through a process of gender violence exerted on his former partner
Cecilia Torres Mana
and his name had been hit by
a red alert Interpol
.
The 51-year-old golfer had arrived in Rio de Janeiro on December 31 from the United States.
Cabrera told the Brazilian police that he had left Argentina six months ago.
Federal police officers from the international cooperation body, with the support of police officers from the Rio de Janeiro international airport, found him in the company of a woman near a public square, 200 meters from the beach, in the exclusive neighborhood of Leblon.
"He was calm, he did not try to escape or hide," said a Brazilian police source.
The golfer, a native of Villa Allende and personal friend of mayor Eduardo 'Gato' Romero (PRO), also a former golf player, must face a trial of two accumulated causes of gender violence against Torres Mana for the crimes of
"qualified minor injuries and threats "
, of 2017, and another for
" qualified minor injuries and thefts "
of 2018.
By resolution of the Family Violence Prosecutor's Office,
Cabrera was prevented from leaving the country without judicial authorization
.
However, in mid-August of this year and a few days after the start of the trial against him, he traveled to the United States without requesting the corresponding authorization to participate in a golf tournament.

Upon learning that the golfer had been absent from his home in Villa Allende, the prosecutor for gender violence, Cristian Griffi,
issued an international arrest warrant
.
The winner of the US Open 2007 and the Augusta Masters in 2009 moved to the United States to participate in the Ohio Senior Championship, valid on the Champions Tour circuit, for people over 50, where he was ranked 76th out of 81 players.
Cabrera stayed in the United States and no one in Argentina was able to report why and how he traveled to play that tournament without permission from the Córdoba justice.
In addition, they claim that from North America he threatened his victim by telephone.
The lawyer Carlos Nayi, defender of one of Cabrera's victims, is going to ask at the trial to repeat the threats he made, warning that he would travel to Córdoba to kill her and that justice "was shit."
In addition,
Nayi will ask the court for six years in effective prison
"because he is a danger to society and to the women he threatened."
