“(…) since Dr. Cilleruelo learned that the police of the City of Buenos Aires (who were in civilian clothes in an unidentified car) had shot a 17-year-old young man in the head – which would cause death – the magistrate decided to take measures to re-victimize the three young men who were with Lucas González, leaving them locked up with the murderers all night, “said the request that appears in an eight-page letter to which Télam agreed.
“Not satisfied with this, and as if the result was not enough,” continued the presentation, “when noting that the three defendants were members of the aforementioned security force, Dr. Cilleruelo decided to release them.”
“The extremes we face when observing the actions of the Magistrate, who, without more than the report of the police of the City of Buenos Aires, ordered to keep three minors deprived of liberty and at all times he omitted the arrest of the three murderers, “he continued.
According to the brief, the fact that the defendants were members of said force “revealed the risk that they would remain free for the young people and their families and for the investigation.”
In that sense, the petition recalled that the Buenos Aires Minister of Justice and Security himself, Marcelo D’Alessandro, asked Judge Cilleruelo to “adopt urgent measures regarding the procedural situation of the murderers.”
