A preliminary hearing is scheduled for next week where they will define whether or not to open a trial against Mariana Tania Giammarco Yanni, accused of attempted intentional homicide to the detriment of the entertainer Gilberto Correa, judicial sources said.
The preliminary hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, February 7 at the 6th Control Court of the Caracas Metropolitan Area. In addition to intentional homicide, Mariana Tania was charged with the crime of unlawful deprivation of liberty.
The events occurred between 2021 and 2022. It all begins when Gilberto Correa gets divorced, is left alone at home and his children look for Mariana Giammarco to take care of him, according to the accusation document presented by the Public Ministry before the 6th Control Court.
Apparently, Mariana Giammarco began to isolate Correa to the point of prohibiting him from visiting his friends, as well as going out on the street.
In addition, Giammarco was in charge of supplying him with the medication prescribed by a neurologist, and which he allegedly altered.
Faced with this situation, Gilberto Correa went to a justice of the peace in the Baruta municipality (Miranda) and later reported the matter to the Public Ministry.
The Prosecutor’s Office opened an investigation and for this reason sent a team from the Criminal Unit to evaluate the health of Gilberto Correa. At the same time, the Cicpc carried out expert reports, which showed an increase in the dose of the medicines supplied to the entertainer.
The scientific police also determined that Giammarco wrote prescriptions to support the increase in medical doses. The neurologist denied having ordered these dosages. “Of 25 milligrams of Ketiapina prescribed, Gilberto was given 400 milligrams; dose that can put an elephant to sleep”, explained a legal source.
Both Gilberto Correa and his driver have protection measures ordered by a court as a result of two violent episodes allegedly committed by Giammarco.
The protection measures were processed by Correa’s legal team, made up of lawyers Raúl Larroque, Marinel Carrizales and Ramón Reyes. In these orders, it is reported that Giammarco tried to crash the car where Correa normally travels, an event that occurred in the curves of Chulavista, the sector where the entertainer resides.
