Carlos Carrascosa
, the widower of
María Marta García Belsunce
, murdered on October 27, 2002 in the Carmel de Pilar country, revealed that he cried "all day" after learning of the life prison sentence for Nicolás Pachelo for the crime, ruling which reversed an acquittal he had previously had. He also pointed out to prosecutor Molina Pico, responsible for the first investigation:
"I ask that you not work more so that you don't screw up the lives of more people."
"I started eating with my friends from Luján and I was exhausted because in the middle of the meal all the journalists, the crows, called on the phone... I arrived type 1 and didn't even blink. I laid my head down and fell asleep until today at 7:30. Yesterday was terrible from when they told me until 12 at night when the phone kept ringing.
I cried a lot, all day.
The number of messages I received... Every time I saw the cell phone I had 100," Carrascosa began by telling
La Nación+
, one day after the ruling.
In the interview, María Marta's widower gave his opinion about Pachelo, who was finally found guilty, and said that
"he is a kind of psychopath, but without feeling
," which for him is "the worst qualification for a psychopath."
"I think he is well kept, because when he goes out, he steals, kills or does something.
The record is monstrous and a person like that is a public danger
," he said.
Carrascosa explained where, for him, the whole issue with Pachelo began: "
He steals our dog and asks for a ransom. That's where the problem begins.
It got worse because there was a club security meeting and María Marta told him about it and that surely got to him. Pachelo."
And he continued: "There was already a grudge, she was afraid of him, the whole country was afraid of him. He was a very dangerous guy. The father's death was very doubtful, he set fire to his one-year-old stepbrother's crib, he robbed four houses in Carmel for which he was condemned and it was always on Sunday afternoon.

Going back, Carrascosa also said that Molina Pico - a prosecutor who began the investigation and always pointed to María Marta's family as guilty of the incident - "could have investigated Pachelo" in the first instance because "it was the most direct line." But he - he said - he decided to target those close to the victim. In fact, he was accused of being the author of the crime, for which
he spent five years in prison and another two under house arrest
.
"Molina Pico's accusation was because he assured that I was at the Club House at that time. And I was not there but at my brother-in-law's house watching the end of River-Boca and the beginning of Independiente-Racing. But for He said that it was a lie and
he said that I had gone to my house to kill my wife
. That was the clue. If I told him yes, that I was at the House club, he would grab the alibi he gave me. He "Actually I was going for Irene (Hurtig, María Marta's sister) and Guillermo (Bártoli, Irene's husband)," he said.
And he was blunt with his opinion about the prosecutor who took him to prison: "
Useless is an understatement.
I don't want to occupy my brain with a despicable being like Molina Pico, I have much nicer people to think about. What I ask is that you don't work anymore." So that he doesn't ruin the lives of more people, I'm not one to wish death on anyone or anything, but he shouldn't work anymore because he is a public danger to everyone in the area where he is."
"
If you happen to crash between Route 197 and the Panamericana toll, be careful,
" he warned.

Finally, he said that his time in prison left him many lessons since he was able to know "the good part of bad men and the bad part of good men, those in suits." In that sense, she remembered what María Marta was like, of whom she said that if she had seen yesterday's sentence "she would have a feeling of peace" because "in all this time she must have suffered a lot" from what her husband went through. her.
"He had an impressive social spirit, he worked for Missing Children, for the Solidarity Network, for Friends of Pilar, which is a group of people who hold events in Pilar to raise funds and do charity, he had a radio program about social things, he problems came and he tried to solve them. Furthermore, on Sunday nights he would go around the houses of Carmel to look for two liters of milk, three breads and on Mondays he would go to the villages to deliver that. He had a very strong character like a good bullfighter, he was a companion at maximum, we were companions, friends and lovers," he concluded.
