Crime of the 'Trinche' Carlovich: they sentenced to 33 years in prison the murderer of the crack rosarino

The Santa Fe Justice sentenced Juan Ariel "Bocachita" Maidana to 33 years in prison for the crime of former soccer player Tomás Felipe "Trinche" Carlovich (74), soccer idol of Central Córdoba de Rosario.

The murder occurred on May 6, 2021 when the "Trinche" was cycling along Eva Perón Avenue, at the height of Paraná Street, in western Rosario, while crossing the railroad tracks.

Rosario prosecutors Georgina Pairola and Alejandro Ferlazzo had requested a sentence of 37 years in prison for the accused, considering that "he despises life" and was not beset by "family misery."

According to the investigation, a man with a naked torso and a T-shirt tied around his neck, and who was also moving on a bicycle, pushed Carlovich while he was moving.

The former soccer player, idol of the Central Córdoba de Rosario promotion team, fell to the ground and the thief left his bicycle to steal the victim's.

As a result of the fall, "Trinche" hit his head against the asphalt and suffered a bruise in the skull area, so he was admitted that afternoon to the local emergency hospital.

Finally, he died on May 8 as a result of a blow to the head.

A few days after the fact, Juan Ariel Maidana, known as "Bocachita", was arrested as a suspect, who was charged with the crime and also for a case of sexual abuse and other assaults with the same characteristics as the one suffered by Carlovich, and in the same place.

Along with him came to trial Gabriel Omar Donaire, accused of another robbery of similar characteristics that occurred a few days earlier.

Who was the "Trinche"

With a good part of his professional career in promotion categories, although he debuted in 1969 Rosario Central and had a stint with Colón de Santa Fe, Carlovich became an idol of Central Córdoba, a railway club located in the Tablada neighborhood of Rosario, where he played in four different stages.

Without a film record of his performances, around the "Trinche" the oral myth of an exceptional player was built over time, which was recognized by figures such as Diego Armando Maradona.

In 1974 he was part of a Rosario team that played a friendly match with the National Team, whose first half ended 3-0 in favor of the locals and aggravated the myth of the "Trinche" as an exceptional midfielder.
