Visibly affected, Tatiana Caro spoke to the press after giving a statement in the trial that seeks to convict the eight rugby players who beat Fernando Báez Sosa to death, outside the Le Brique nightclub in the coastal city of Villa Gesell in January 2020. .
The young woman heard one of the attackers say that “I’m taking this black shit as a trophy.” It is one of the most forceful statements that would prove the hate crime committed by the eight attackers.
Caro, who lives in Villa Gesell and works in the nightclubs in the area, witnessed the event in first person because they were at the door of the premises at the time of the attack.
The young woman said that since the incident it is difficult for her to go through the door of the place and that she only does it once a year, to bring “white flowers” to the sanctuary that was set up in memory of Báez Sosa.
Tatiana also referred to the attitude of the defendants who did not seem to show any kind of regret for the fact.
During the day, a taxi driver who was passing by the place when the beating took place also testified.
The defendants in the trial that is still ongoing are Máximo Thomsen (23), Enzo Comelli (22), Matías Benicelli (23), Blas Cinalli (21), Ayrton Viollaz (23), and Luciano (21), Ciro (22) and Lucas Pertossi (23).
