The prosecutor requested the arrest of gynecologist Clementi, denounced for 16 cases of sexual abuse

The head of the Fiscal Unit No. 9 of Lomas de Zamora specialized in Gender and Family Violence, Sebastián Bisquert, requested the arrest of gynecologist Diego Javier Clementi, who is prosecuted for the sexual abuse of six women in his office, although in total there are 16 judicial complaints. Today the prosecutor informed us that he requested the arrest of Clementi as we had requested last week, and we also learned that the gynecologist’s lawyer requested exemption from prison, “said the lawyer of the complainants, Claudia Perugino, in statements to Telam.” Now we have to wait for what the judge of guarantees defines, “added the lawyer, who last Wednesday accompanied the last eight complainants to formalize their complaints. Meanwhile, Perugino said that Clementi “appears with new defense lawyers, doctors Fernando E. Sicilia and Gastón Marano and they ask Judge of Guarantees No. 4 of Lomas de Zamora, Sebastián Ariel Monelos, the exemption from prison.” Recall that Marano, is one of those who represents Gabriel Carrizo, the detainee for the attack against Vice President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner and member of the so-called “band of copitos”.They denounce the gynecologist Clementi, prosecuted for sexual abuse | Photo: Archive.For his part, the judge will have to assess whether it gives rise to the exemption from prison. In that case, the lawyer stated that “some variants may occur”: “from full ambulatory freedom to understand that there is no danger of flight nor will there be any evidentiary obstruction and / or establish that this ambulatory freedom is subject to conditions, such as appearing in court from time to time, not approaching or having contact to communicate with the victims and / or ordering their house arrest subject to conditions or obligations; It may also set a royal bond so that it can be granted, among other alternatives to preventive confinement. If the exemption requested by Clementi is not granted, it will not be effective until it is firm and there opens a path of appeals that can reach the Provincial Supreme Court, with the accused free. ” Clementi holds the position of medical director of the Women’s Medical Center of Burzaco and maintains active his enrollment granted by the Medical College of the province of Buenos Aires district II. He also served as head of service at the Evita hospital in Lanús, from where he was “preventively disassociated from patient care until Justice determines its responsibility in the reported cases,” the media confirmed. However, he continued to attend until Sunday, April 30, in a clinic he owned in the Buenos Aires town of Burzaco where several of the aforementioned crimes were executed, and despite the prosecution for the six complaints.
