The 52-year-old businessman Francisco Sáenz Valiente, who remained in custody for the death of Emmily Rodrigues Santos Gomes (26), the Brazilian model who lost her life after falling from the sixth floor of a building in the Retiro neighborhood of Buenos Aires, was released
at
first time this Wednesday.
This was confirmed by his lawyer,
Rafael Cúneo Libarona
, in dialogue with
TN
: "
We just got freedom a few seconds ago
, Judge (Martín) Del Viso ordered the lack of merit as we had been asking for. He resolved just in time and in a proper way the
lack of merit
for all the crimes of which he was accused and ordered his immediate release".
As he explained, "Justice continues to investigate the episode, but not Francisco, who was released and without a record, although
he still has an accusation
."
Specifically, he was accused of aggravated homicide by femicide, illegal possession of a weapon and supply of narcotics.
"There are many things to clarify. The prosecution did a very good job, the judge made a very good resolution and the judicial system worked. Very happy with the work done," he completed.
Emmily Rodrigues, the 26-year-old Brazilian girl who died when she fell from a sixth floor on Libertad Street at 1500, in the City of Buenos Aires.
Regarding the reasons why Sáenz Valiente was released, he specified: "It is not a single element. When a judge decides, especially in difficult cases like this, it is the amount of evidence
.
"
"The testimonial statements of the girls who were at the scene of the crime were very important, they show that Emmily had been consuming drugs, alcohol and that she had a tremendous psychological outbreak. One of them, at 8 in the morning, says 'I I'm going here because this girl scares me.' So there
we have tested the psychotic outbreak,"
he explained.
And he added: "There is also the
consumption of different drugs
such as tuci and cocaine. Also alcohol, vodka. And we do not know the quantities or for how long they were consumed."
The
morning of the tragedy
, the businessman was participating in a private party with four women in his Retiro apartment:
Juliana
, a Brazilian doctor who brought Emmily as a guest;
Lía Alves
and
Dafne Santana
, all Brazilians living in Buenos Aires, friends of the "environment" of the parties.

Emmily died on March 30
after falling from the apartment window around 9 a.m.
She was with the mining businessman and the doctor, who did her residency at the Fernández Hospital.
Lía Alves had withdrawn around 8, according to what she declared, after witnessing the excessive consumption of drugs and that Emmily began to "get upset".
The days of Sáenz Valiente in a cell
Francisco Sáenz Valiente spent 20 days detained in a cell at Alcaidía 4 Bis Anexo, located at Avenida Vélez Sarsfield 140, in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Barracas.
Although he is single and has no children, he has a large family.
However, he was only visiting with some friends.
For the businessman with businesses related to agriculture and mining, the trips to paradisiacal destinations were left behind during those weeks.
In those days,
he sent Emmily's parents a handwritten letter
in which he maintained that the young woman's fall was "accidental" and that he did "everything possible" to prevent it.
In his first inquiry, on April 1, Sáenz Valiente spoke of the outbreak, and stated that the young woman became "aggressive" and that she looked for "
a window to jump into the void
."
