Tomás Ítalo Colazo, a friend of the rugbiers stated that he saw Thomsen and Ciro Pertossi “close” to Fernando’s body

Tomás Ítalo Colazo, a friend of those accused of the murder of Fernando Báez Sosa, stated that he saw Máximo Thomsen and Ciro Pertossi “close” to the body of the young man and that he got involved with “the intention that they do not fight anymore.” This is the 19-year-old who, although he was never charged, from the first instance was pointed out by the lawyers of the victim’s family, Fernando Burlando and Fabián Améndola, as the “suspect number 11”. What I saw nearby was Maximus, I remember seeing Ciro up close. Hit well, I didn’t see who, I’m not sure. After putting his arm to Thomsen, he looks at me and I do not have a lot of memory, “said Colazo on Monday in front of the Oral Criminal Court 1 of Dolores and in statements gathered by Telam, while in turn, he claimed that he put “Maximo’s arm on his chest” and threw him “back”, with “the intention that they do not fight anymore”.Tomás Ítalo Colazo when leaving the Court of Dolores | Photo: NAColazo was the second witness of the 11th hearing of the trial, in the framework of which he made a reconstruction of the early morning of January 18, 2020, which ended Fernando’s life. In this sense, he commented that Luciano Pertossi, who is known to him from school, had “an argument” inside the Le Brique bowling alley, in which there were “pushes and fell to the floor”, until “the security come and separate them”. “When I go out and turn I see Luciano holding on to this person with whom I had had the conflict inside,” he said. Mocking asked him what they did after the “fight.” “We walked away down that block,” Colazo replied. “Did you ever worry about the person you had assaulted?” asked the lawyer representing Graciela Sosa and Silvino Báez, Fernando’s family. “I don’t think so,” the witness replied. Finally, counsel asked him to say what his opinion the accused deserve. Recall that Maximo Thomsen, Ciro Pertossi, Enzo Comelli, Matías Benicelli, Blas Cinalli, Lucas Pertossi, Ayrton Viollaz and Luciano Pertossi are accused of homicide. “I can’t define it because of this situation. I can’t give it. For me they are good guys, but it has nothing to do with the event,” Colazo concluded.
