In the brief that he presented this Thursday before the prosecutor
Ramiro González
and judge
Sebastián Casanello
, who are carrying out the investigation into the birthday of the first lady,
Fabiola Yáñez
, in the Quinta de Olivos, President Alberto Fernández offered 630,518 pesos to be dismissed in the cause.
Fernández made the proposal in a letter signed by himself, in which he offers to donate
half of his pocket salary
($ 315,259 per month)
for four months to the Malbrán Institute
, which investigates the coronavirus and other diseases.
An official who accompanies him in the diagramming of his judicial strategy explained to
Clarín
that the President made that presentation under the terms of article 59 of the Penal Code.
This text establishes the ways in which the criminal action can be extinguished, that is, the persecution of the accused.
Paragraph 6 of that article says that this can happen "
by conciliation or integral reparation of the damage
, in accordance with the provisions of the corresponding procedural laws."
However, court sources argued before Clarín that in this case the reparation is not applicable, since it is not a crime that has generated specific economic damages.
