2023-01-17T17:40:49.810Z


María Alejandra Guillén, mother of Enzo Comelli (22), referred to the insults of the lawyer who represents the family of Fernando Báez Sosa.


At the close of the twelfth day of the trial, the parents of several of the rugby players accused of killing Fernando Báez Sosa took the stand and

They argued that the crime for which their children are being tried

also ruined their lives

.

They spoke of

"constant agony"

and of not being able to go outside for fear of attacks.

From the pressure of the media and anonymous calls to their homes.

But one of those pointed out was

Fernando Burlando

, the media lawyer for the Báez Sosa family.

So much so that one of the relatives came out to answer him in a testimonial.

"I want to clarify to Mr. Burlando that

I am not a whore, it was tremendous to hear that word

for me and my family," exclaimed María Alejandra Guillén, mother of Enzo Comelli (22), during the closing of her exhibition.

It was the response to a phrase that Burlando said at the exit of one of the first hearings.

After the version circulated that the defendants had laughed during the testimony of witness Pablo Ventura, he was asked what he thought.

"I am a very short time away from starting to insult everyone. I ask:

what are you laughing at, you sons of bitches?"

, said the media lawyer in dialogue with the press.

In this way, he responded to the version of the alleged laughter, which Burlando himself did not confirm: "Even if they laugh at a matter that has nothing to do with the trial, in this that is a temple, which is the courtroom and where Fernando's parents are, they can't laugh at anything. If they did that, they really are reverend sons of bitches."

He is not the first to come across Burlando.

Yesterday, Máximo Thomsen —the most compromised of the eight defendants— decided to speak but refused to answer

questions from someone "who insulted me and my family

."

Strategy apart from not responding to the complaint, the defendants aim to show the damage suffered by their families.

Héctor Eduardo Benicelli, father of Matías Benicelli (23) also cried in part of his testimony this Tuesday.

There he commented that "it

was three years with a lot of pain".

"I never imagined a situation like this would happen. I don't know how to continue. I hear that they call us sons of bitches. I can't find an explanation for it. It's terrible, a terrible pain for everyone.

They want to cure the pain by generating more pain,"

he said .

A while before Mauro Pertossi, father of Luciano and Ciro, had spoken, who broke down when giving testimony.

"It's a disgrace. One believes that things are on track in life and this comes. I don't know what to think. I can't believe that we are living this moment.

My children are not murderers.

They are boys, adolescents, lazy, as we say in the neighborhood. I can't believe it," he declared before the judges.

But one of the most heartfelt testimonies was that of Guillén, who closed the hearing on Tuesday.

"My family is devastated right now. Life changed for all of us.

It's constant agony. Harassment, calls

," he added.

After his presentation, he asked for one more minute to respond to Burlando.

"I'm not a whore," she told him.

It was the final point of the penultimate audience.

Tomorrow will be the closure.

It also coincides with the third anniversary of the crime. 

Yesterday afternoon Rosalía Zárate, Thomsen's mother, had spoken.

There she told that she had to leave work after January 18, 2020. She even told that she suffers from cancer, which appeared in recent years.

“I had surgery, I did x-rays and chemotherapy, I am still undergoing treatment.

I left it to be able to come here.

The only thing I do is leave my house to go see my son in jail and go to the doctor.

So two years ago.

I can't anymore I can't keep coping with all this.

It's a nightmare," the woman said.

None of the parents who took the stage today or yesterday addressed Fernando's parents.

Neither did they mention or refer to the crime. 


When leaving the courts, Graciela Sosa, Fernando's mother, responded.

"The only victim is called Fernando Báez Sosa. That he went on vacation and they kicked him so many times."
