SAN FRANCISCO DE MACORÍS.– The young Steven Alberto, aggressor of the student Edgar Taveras inside a university campus in this city, whose video went viral on social networks, is already in the hands of the authorities of the Public Ministry.
Alberto appeared before the court in the company of his lawyer Luis Miguel Mercedes and his mother.
The defendant refused to speak when he was transferred to the prosecutor’s office, where he was received by magistrate Smaylin Rodriguez, Duarte’s chief prosecutor.
We recommend you read:
Alberto’s legal representative asked that his physical integrity be guaranteed, and reported to prosecutor Rodriguez the situation of threats generated on social networks against his client.
The defendant’s mother said she was sorry about the situation.
Alberto was recorded while beating the young Taveras, who was helpless in the audiovisual that toured the country and part of the world, which occurred in the back of the cafeteria of the Universidad Católica Nordestana (UCNE) in this town.
It is expected that in the next few hours measures of coercion against Steven Alberto will be known.
