Death of Silvina Luna: Justice decided not to investigate Aníbal Lotocki

Judge Luis Schlegel ruled the exception of lack of action on surgeon Aníbal Lotocki in the case investigating the death of Silvina Luna. Almost a month after the autopsy was carried out on the model’s body, which found “nodular formations in the buttocks”, and that “venous thrombosis and pulmonary thromboembolism were observed, in principle, suitable for the production of the lethal mechanism”, the decision of the National Criminal Court of Cassation is still awaited. NA, Schlegel allowed a proposal of lis pendens, that is, that a person cannot be tried twice for the same thing, and “we will await the ruling of Cassation that has been under study by the judges for more than a year, when the case reached that Court”. On the other hand, meanwhile, the prosecution of the surgeon for the death of the patient Rodolfo Cristian Zárate was confirmed, a cause for which he was charged with “simple homicide by eventual malice.” We conclude that it is possible, with the degree of certainty required for this stage of the process, to attribute criminal responsibility to the defendant for the death of Zarate since his conduct was indisputably the determining cause of the result, which would not have occurred if he had not operated on Rodolfo Cristián Zárate, or adopted greater care during the control after his practice.” consigned the Crime Chamber, with the signature of magistrates Ignacio Rodríguez Varela, Julio Lucina and Hernán López.You may also be interested in: Concern for Verónica Ojeda’s health after having surgery on LotockiIt should be recalled that in February 2022, Lotocki received a four-year prison sentence for a complaint made by several models who testified to having suffered malpractice on their part, Silvina Luna, Estefanía Xipolitakis, Gabriela Trenchi and Pamela Sosa.
