Along these lines, Pernía delved into the impact generated by the discovery of the bullets that damaged his vehicle. “Obviously as a driver and as a person this has me very shocked. Because I love this sport, because it’s a sport that I’ve always seen with a purity as it should be. It hurts that it happened, but we are all part of this. The only thing I ask, from now on, is that we let justice work, that the truth of this be arrived at for the good of all. Let justice be done,” he said at the end of his remarks. For its part, the Association of Automobile Tourism Pilots (APAT) assured that the justice system is working on the incident and expressed its “deep concern and commitment to the clarification of the facts.” “With the conviction that prudence and respect for judicial times are fundamental for the elucidation of the truth, institutional silence will be opted for until there is a relevant development in the process,” they said in a statement released through their social networks.
