Burlando said that Blas Cinalli’s statement was “a confession”: “He put himself at the scene of the event inches from Fernando.”

Fernando Burlando said that the statement of Blas Cinalli, one of the defendants most involved in the homicide since “DNA” of his was found on “the fingernail” of Fernando Báez Sosa’s body was “a confession.” The balance is very positive. The achievement of the prosecution (Juan Manuel Dávila and Gustavo García) was to extract a confession from Cinalli, which was put at the scene. He himself is located less than thirty centimeters at the scene of the crime, “said the lawyer in front of the journalists, when leaving the Oral Criminal Court 1 of Dolores where this Wednesday, which in turn marks three years of the date of the crime, concluded the trial. Burlando analyzed the testimony of the defendant who referred to the fact as a “fight” – which was questioned by the prosecution – while in turn he refused to answer questions that came from the lawyer when requesting that a video be shown where he is seen as he describes both him and his companions as “energetic” and “cowardly.” He calls it ‘fight’, obviously it wasn’t a fight. It seems to me a great achievement of the intelligence of Dr. Juan Dávila, who has made a fantastic preparation of this cause and what this hearing meant. Personally, I’m very happy. I would have loved to get that data from this guy,” the lawyer said. In declaring, Cinalli maintains: “At no time did I hit Fernando Báez Sosa; I see they say he had DNA from mine on the nail of his little finger, I guess who I had in the meeting inside the bowling alley I don’t know, he was capable.” Faced with this, Burlando contradicted him: “No, the contact as seen in the images and as the prosecutor shows him, has it less than 20/30 centimeters, at the scene of the crime, at the place of the massacre.” Eight people who beat one are cowards. Cinalli you are a coward. I didn’t rate you on what you did, I made a description of what you see in the videos,” the lawyer replied. Continuing with the defense strategy of showing a video of him, Burlando replied with a hint of irony: “It really motivates me a lot, I’m very proud that the defense puts me in this place but I don’t know anything in this story.” In addition to Cinalli, Lucas Pertossi also testified on Wednesday, when he said he never had the “intention of taking anyone’s life”, and both were the last ones that in total added the testimony of five rugby players. Luciano Pertossi was the first to speak, followed by Máximo Thomsen and his brother Ciro Pertossi. While those who reserved the right were Ayrton Viollaz, Enzo Comelli and Matías Benicelli.
