The lawyer Raquel Hermida Leyenda, representative of the only daughter of the victim, constituted as a private victim, explained to
Télam
that it is a "very important trial, because thanks to the complaint for
extortionate kidnapping
that Carrazzone himself made when his wife had already disappeared , the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation decided that this case should continue in federal headquarters. "
The lawyer affirmed that they are "very worried" since there are "
four very threatened witnesses
" who will be guarded by the Police to testify at the trial and that she was also intimidated.
"I haven't been able to see my children for almost a month, I can't take the dog to the door, they dirty my car, they sent me messages saying that they were going to cut my legs so that I wouldn't come to the trial," said the lawyer. .
And he added: "I believe that Carrazzone is
not going to be saved from a fair trial
, or even if he fulfilled his threat not to let me get to La Plata."

Meanwhile, the TOF 2 of La Plata resolved to extend again the preventive prison of the criminal for six months from March 13, that is until September 2021.
Last April, the lawyer had requested the benefit of home detention as he was within the risk group that should be prevented from contagion of the coronavirus, but
the request was rejected by the court
and days later ratified by the Federal Chamber of La Plata.
He has been in the Ezeiza prison since March 2018.
Sequeira, who had lived with Carrazzone for thirteen years, disappeared on December 29, 2016 from his home in
the town of El Ombú 786, in Ezeiza
.
That day he was 60 years old.
The lawyer reported the incident only on the 31st of that month and, a day later, claimed to have received an extortion call in which they demanded $ 80,000 to release her.

Carrazzone quickly went from victim to perpetrator.
He tried to establish that the disappearance of his partner was "
a return from the Bonaerense
" for a case, but was exposed when a country named Miguel Ángel Franco confessed to having made those calls.
But not by his own decision, but in exchange for $ 20 thousand and by order of the lawyer.
Then it was determined that it had been
a false complaint
, tending to obstruct the investigation and hide the femicide.
Franco (63), who had been a client of Carrazzone and was accused of collaborating in the extortion calls, was detained for this alleged kidnapping, although he was finally dismissed.
Although the criminal media always denied acts of violence against his wife, for the investigators
there are sufficient elements to prove that the criminal lawyer beat her

Meanwhile, a witness who testified in the case reported that the day before her disappearance, the victim had told her that she was going to separate from the lawyer and that he would have to leave home "with a bag," as he had arrived before. many years.
"
I know many 'shenanigans' about Rubén
. He is going to pay me, because it is not only that he cheated on me, but who he cheated on me with was Lourdes," Sequeira told a friend, referring to Lourdes Olivera, a former partner of his who owed him money and with whom he was at odds.
During a raid that was carried out in a warehouse in the city of Lobos, Sequeira's truck and other vehicles linked to Carrazzone were seized, although no traces of the woman's blood were found in any of them.
The investigators' suspicion is that some of these vehicles may have been used to move the body, but so far that hypothesis could not be proven.
