Prosecutor Gabriela Fossati, who is in charge of the investigation of the criminal gang that falsified passports and of which the former head of Custody of the Presidency, Alejandro Astesiano, was a member, acknowledged that she agreed to a request by the Presidency not to agree to the talks. between the defendant and the agent as a condition to deliver the defendant’s cell phone.
Fossati commented to The Observer that the Presidency told him that the voluntary delivery of the cell phone would be carried out, but if that condition was respected. For that they asked that the “investment” of the hierarch be considered.
For this reason, in the request that the prosecutor made to the Scientific Police, the Public Ministry official requests that all the messages, audios, and videos deleted from Astesiano’s cell phone be recovered, “with the exception of the messages, audios, and videos that may have been exchanged with the President of the Republic.
For Fossati this request makes sense for security reasons. “I understood that there could be information about the movements and habits of his family. The working conditions of the Prosecutor’s Office cannot guarantee that this was kept in reserve. It seems extremely reasonable to me and it continues to seem extremely reasonable to me.”
