The federal judge of La Plata Ernesto Kreplak will take this Thursday an investigative statement from the former director of Counterintelligence of the Federal Intelligence Agency (AFI) Diego Dalmau Pereyra, in the case that is being followed by the assembly of a Judicial Table that operated during the management of the former governor of the province of Buenos Aires, María Eugenia Vidal.
Dalmau Pereyra is accused of participating in the assembly of a judicial investigation that had the purpose of harming the La Plata branch of the Construction Workers’ Union (Uocra) and its then head Juan Pablo “Pata” Medina.
While last Tuesday declared in the framework of this instruction, the former director of Legal Affairs of the AFI during the management of Cambiemos, Juan Sebastián de Stéfano, who delivered a letter in which he threatened to take Kreplak before the Judicial Council for handling the investigation, according to judicial sources.
Through a writing of less than 20 pages, the former AFI official stated that the links and contacts he had with the Judiciary were within the framework of his duties and that Medina had many complaints against him, so to investigate an alleged armed attack, it would be necessary to summon all those who participated in those files, as Télam was able to reconstruct.
De Stéfano maintained that the contacts he had with the Quilmes judge, Luis Armella, one of the magistrates who ordered Medina’s arrest at the time, were in the framework of his duties as an auxiliary of justice.
In that context, the former AFI agent, who now has a place in the directory of Subterráneos de Buenos Aires Sociedad del Estado (Sbase), threatened the judge with denouncing him before the Judicial Council for having processed a complaint that began with the presentation of a video found in the AFI and demanded that he refrain from resolving his procedural situation because he understands that the case must be processed in the City of Buenos Aires.
Warning him about a possible complaint before the Council, De Stéfano invoked –without specifying them- other cases in which federal judges used videos of the former SIDE in their investigations and who later had to give explanations for it: in this case, however, the video that was presented in the AFI complaint itself is also taken as an element to be investigated.
The former head of the legal area of the AFI has a judicial strategy that exceeds the presentation of this Thursday, long before his investigation, he had already claimed before two judges of Comodoro Py (Ariel Lijo and Marcelo Martínez de Giorgi) that they claim the file that he is processing in The Silver.
Lijo has in his court a complaint filed by the trade unionists Hugo and Pablo Moyano against the Macri government for the alleged illegal setting up of legal cases (there De Stéfano was already dismissed) and Martínez de Giorgi investigates the alleged illegal espionage against politicians, trade unionists, journalists and social leaders, among others.
Judge Kreplak, meanwhile, decided to reschedule for on April 5, the investigative statement of the Buenos Aires senator of Together for Change Juan Pablo Allan.
Allan was one of the attendees at that meeting, held at the Buenos Aires headquarters of the Banco Provincia, where the then Buenos Aires Minister of Labor, Marcelo Villegas, alluded to the fact that he would like to have a “Gestapo” to act against the trade unionists.
