defense of Gabriel Carrizoaccused of being the head of the Copitos gang and imprisoned for the assassination attempt against Vice President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, will agree to expand the investigation, because he wants to “clarify the entire situation”, before judge María Eugenia Capuchetti and prosecutor Carlos Rívolo.
At the end of December of last year, the Federal Chamber ordered Judge Capuchetti to make a new summons to investigate Gabriel Carrizo to inform you about the discovery of new WhatsApp chats on your phone, which could complicate your procedural situation.
Gabriel Carrizo said, about the messages, that it was about “pranks on friends and acquaintances, before whom he boasted of behaviors in which he did not participate”but the communications could be taken as incriminating elements regarding the alleged participation in the assassination attempt.
When ordering the call to extend the investigation of the accused, the Chamber argued that “we are here, faced with new evidencewhich were incorporated after the receipt of the investigative statement of the accused”.
The extension of the investigation was postponed twice during the judicial fair in January and now the measure has materialized, so the Leader of the Copitos will be able to explain “Who did you send those messages to and why did you do it?” The defense also assured that it will suggest new elements of investigation to Judge Capuchettiwho left the investigation in the hands of the prosecutor.
