First, three friends of the young law student, who were in front of the bowling alley at the time of the attack, are expected to testify. Then Ventura, whose testimony was requested by the defense and the prosecution, and could also testify his father, José María, whose summons was advanced at the request of Fernando Burlando. Also cited are six workers of the dance venue and two police officers, including the one who applied first aid to Fernando minutes after the beating. Fernando’s parents will again be present on the first floor of the Courts of Dolores, as Graciela herself told Telam.In the same way, they will be in the room -as in the previous two days-, the eight accused, Máximo Thomsen (23), Enzo Comelli (22), Matías Benicelli (23), Blas Cinalli (21), Ayrton Viollaz (23), and Luciano (21), Ciro (22) and Lucas Pertossi (23). During the second day of the debate, five friends of Fernando identified Máximo Thomsen, Luciano Pertossi and Enzo Comelli as three of the aggressors who initially attacked the young man with “kicks in the head” and blows to “the chest and jaw”, and that at least two of them assaulted him when he was “on the floor” in front of the Le Brique bowling alley in Villa Gesell, in the early morning of January 18, 2020. In their testimonies, four witnesses who were part of Fernando’s group also located rugby players Ayrton Viollaz, Matías Benicelli and Lucas Pertossi among the aggressors. Viollaz was recognized and placed at the site of the beating while shouting “let’s see now that we are outside”, as a harangue and preventing friends from approaching to defend him. Benicelli was pointed out as the one who shouted “let’s see if you hit again, you black shit” to Fernando, when he lay unconscious on the floor. And Lucas Pertossi was identified as the aggressor of another of the friends who tried to help the young man. “I know Thomsen hit him, I would say in the chest; the one who took me out (by Luciano Pertossi) is the one who was kicking the side of the head and the rest of the aggressors I don’t remember,” said witness Lucas Filardi, the first of the friends to testify. Oscar Rossi, meanwhile, was the first to testify at Tuesday’s hearing. He did it instead of his daughter, who, he himself revealed, is not in a position to face the process.” I don’t wish that on even the worst animal in the middle of the field. I don’t want to see Fernando lying down and waiting for him to be put in a drawer,” he said.
