With his story, Fernando’s father made several in the room cry, including the prison guards who were guarding the accused.
The parents of the rugbiers defended their children during the trial
María Paula Cinalli, mother of Blas Cinalli; Rosalía Zárate, mother of Máximo Thomsen; Mauro Pertossi, father of Ciro and Luciano; Héctor Benicelli, father of Matías; and María Alejandra Guillén, mother of Enzo Comelli, went through the Court of Dolores, where they minimized the crime of Fernando Báez Sosa.
María Paula Cinalli defined it as “a disgrace”, while Rosalía Zárate spoke of “a nightmare”.
Benicelli, father of Matías, for his part, maintained: “We live harassed. They wanted to hit my daughter and my wife in the street. I hear how they insult my wife through the media. I hear that when they hurt my son in prison they won’t defend him. There is not a day that I don’t wake up with insults. The pain does not heal with more pain”.
