Facino and was sentenced to 20 years in prison for crimes against humanity and now runs the risk of adding a longer sentence. So yesterday used his last words before the judges to defend themselves, threw the responsibility in the chain of command, the Commissioner admitted that the 4th was an enclave where groups of tasks, but said he had "no competition" on political prisoners. "I was unaware of the presence of that woman, like unaware of the presence of all the prisoners who were there. I took the command of that sector, "he divorce. And he went further in the release: "I never killed anyone. And no one ordered me to kill, "he said. The hearing will resume on July 29 with the allegations of the complaint, the prosecution and defense, and the verdict will be announced in early August.
Facino spoke for an hour before the judges Ivon Maria Vella, José María Escobar Cello and Moses Ricardo Vázquez. Disqualified witnesses who saw Alicia López in the cells of the 4th and above all else agrees that: Raul Pinto, who assured the court that he saw his cellmate lifeless on the floor and thought he was dead. "Pinto lies", defended Facino.
However, later he considered "credible" the testimony of another political prisoner, Eduardo Almada, who revealed that Alicia was taken of the 4th station in late November or early 1976 by one of the heads of Military Intelligence Detachment 122 Nicolas Correa, an Army sergeant was recycled in democracy and was security adviser to former governor Jorge Obeid, between 1995 and 1999.
"One statement that I find credible is the de Almada" said Facino. "Why do I say this? Because it can not invent detail. He says what he saw. Credible. "Almada was another cellmates Alicia Lopez, saw when they took into the bathroom and fell unconscious. And she said that "in late November or early December 1976, Correa's came for, he took her and" never saw her again. " "The person took one afternoon and never returned," he said. The statement was incorporated Almada reading yesterday in the trial because he died some years ago in an accident.
Facino stirred the link between Correa, whom he did not mention by name, and Obeid to attack the former governor, whom he called "montonero traitor." Correa now deceased was the second former deputy secretary of Public Safety Obeid, Lt. Col. Joseph Bernhard, who "actively participated in the Army. And Bernhard, the link between Obeid and the Army. "
"This is a political party I'm going to show. I was imprisoned when he was president of the municipality of San José del Rincón. In 2004, he won the election but could not finish the term in 2005 because he'd turned the Federal Police and from that moment I am in prison so far and I do not know how long. And that part was very influential political Obeid, "insisted Facino.
President of the Court responded: "I do not want to prejudice their rights of defense. But I ask you please try to limit this to the facts of the case, "asked Dr. Vella.
"I am a political prisoner, has no doubt he complained Facino. "Obeid was a traitor all his life. That man would ever be involved in these cases. "
already very nervous, Facino pulled out a folder with papers that attempted to show in court. "That has nothing to do with this trial. Save it, "the judge cut him Escobar Cello.
"It's important that people know," complained the accused.
- Make it known by other means! Not in this audience! Escobar Cello-challenged him.
- newspaper clippings about the town of Rincón either?
-No. Everything you want to know about facts that have nothing to do with this case has other ways to make it public. Do not use this audience for demonstrations on issues that have nothing to do. You are charged with certain facts, "he reminded the judge Vella.
Facino then returned to pull the chain of command. "The Army prisoners, without exception, entered through the garage and took them directly to the cells." After he complained because he was the only defendant in the case. "None of those in prison." And the other that he should share the bench-Correa, is dead. He added: "We were policemen in civilian clothes walked ever, ever. Always with the police uniform and identifiable things. Not like the thugs walked, those of the famous gang. Does anyone believe that if I knew who it was that people would not have said? Please, "he lamented.
