00:00Nicolás Soria, a.k.a. El Americano,
00:03this character, is still enigmatic,
00:06he's under arrest.
00:07According to him, the only thing he wanted to do,
00:10like in the last years of his life,
00:12was good,
00:13very committed to the causes of treatment,
00:16especially the ones related to...
00:18That's what he said, right?
00:19Especially the ones related to the minor victims of treatment.
00:23He says he collaborated with the foundation
00:25that was the protagonist of a great movie.
00:28If you haven't seen it, watch it.
00:29Sonidos de Libertad,
00:32a case that reconstructs the kidnapping
00:34of two minors.
00:38A real case, taken to the movies.
00:40And the truth is that they have achieved a movie
00:41that generates awareness, traps,
00:43and even, I would say, entertains.
00:44It's a sensitive topic.
00:47Well, the guy presented himself
00:48as the emissary of good
00:51on planet Earth.
00:52The truth is that he's under arrest.
00:54He complained about the bad conditions of detention.
00:58He said he was in a dungeon,
01:00that there were rats that he had to live with,
01:02the rats that he feared for their physical integrity.
01:06Is that what you were going to say?
01:06Yes, and also keep in mind that he was arrested
01:09with a lot of other people
01:11who hindered the investigation for justice
01:15and that those people were released.
01:17Of course.
01:17We must remember that those people were released already.
01:20The psychologist, the assistant,
01:24but Soria is still under arrest.
01:25Exactly, and with another fact,
01:27that he complains,
01:29and the truth is that it sounds coherent,
01:32what he raises,
01:33because he is detained in the same prison
01:37where Cabezón López is.
01:39We have to explain each of the names.
01:41Who is Cabezón López?
01:42One of the main drug traffickers.
01:47Today he is under arrest.
01:48He has been transferred to Marcos Paz, specifically.
01:50There he coincided recently
01:53and coincided with Soria.
01:54Soria says, of course, I investigated according to him.
01:58Another part says,
01:59he wanted to throw the case at us
02:02and make us responsible,
02:05but I have it close to my head,
02:07and my life is in danger.
02:08That is why his lawyers make a presentation
02:11that ended with a satisfactory result,
02:13because they have improved the conditions of detention
02:16of the American, who is still detained,
02:19processed and investigated.
02:21Sonia López is connected.
02:24We welcome you.
02:25Sonia, how are you?
02:26Diego Enabuel, Carlos and Lucía Valdi
02:29here for Alerta 24 7.
02:32Well, a greeting to the whole work table,
02:34to all the people who are following.
02:35Yes, indeed,
02:37that was a few days ago,
02:40a scorpion was presented,
02:42not by the rats.
02:43Well, the rats are there.
02:44It is not good that they are in any prison.
02:47Everyone talks about the rats only,
02:49but well, the rats, yes,
02:50the salubrity of the place was raised,
02:52but the essential thing about the presentation
02:55of the scorpion was that he was detained
02:56in the same prison
02:58that this person that you mention,
03:00who could have been involved
03:02from the protected witness,
03:05the statement of the protected witness,
03:07which of course is related to Nicolás,
03:10because Nicolás is also helping her.
03:13Did the American have any episode
03:16inside the prison in particular?
03:19The story ends.
03:20The issue of scorpions was resolved
03:22through an audience
03:23with the Federal Court of Morón,
03:25which territorially has incumbency.
03:28From an agreement,
03:30he then gave up,
03:32with Dr. Duilio Ramírez,
03:35who attended that incident,
03:36he gave up scorpions
03:38on the basis, not that the prison conditions
03:40were improved,
03:41because the rats have two,
03:43but that a level of security was agreed
03:46that they are not in the penalty,
03:48a level of security,
03:49and well, that each one is,
03:51that he is in the module where he is,
03:53and the other person is in the module where he is.
03:55But did you get to meet?
03:58Did you get to cross Soria
03:59with Cabezón López?
04:01No, no, no, no,
04:02not because they are in different places.
04:03What happens is that it is not good
04:05that they are in the same prison.
04:06That's not right.
04:07We don't see it as a coincidence,
04:09but well, that's why we did the presentations
04:12in a preventive way
04:13and it was resolved well
04:14between the Federal Court,
04:17the Technical Defense of Nicolás,
04:19Nicolás and the Penitentiary Service.
04:21Where is Soria now?
04:23He is in Marcos Paz.
04:25But what changed his situation?
04:27I mean, being between the rats
04:29and close to Cabezón?
04:30The rats are always there
04:32and that is the problem
04:33of the entire Argentine prison system.
04:36A lot of rats, right?
04:36But he is in a...
04:38Yes, I say because it is spoken a lot
04:40as well as cynically,
04:41ah, he complains about the rats,
04:42and it is wrong,
04:43because the prisons are for security,
04:45not for punishment.
04:46That's what the Constitution says.
04:48And now, where is he physically?
04:49What changed?
04:50He is in the same place,
04:51but with a security commitment
04:54by the Penitentiary Service
04:55with the Federal Court of Morón.
04:57But didn't he have a safety measure, doctor?
05:01And until the proposal was made, no.
05:03Ah, he was without a safety measure?
05:04Explain what a safety measure is, Grandma.
05:06He was like any detainee,
05:08subject to being able to meet
05:10with any other detainee.
05:11What is a safety measure?
05:12Sorry, doctor, Carlos Estrione interrupts.
05:14No, let's see, what the assistance asked for...
05:17It's not a special safety measure,
05:19it's just a safety commitment
05:21that they don't meet.
05:22That's it.
05:23The thing is, when you ask for a safety measure,
05:25what usually happens
05:27is that the detainee
05:29is isolated from the rest of the population,
05:31he is in a...
05:32It's called a buzón,
05:33it's a separate buzón,
05:35and he can't go out at the schedules
05:37that the other inmates do in the patio,
05:40in the court, in the workshop.
05:42But they have to approve it, right?
05:44Let's see, no...
05:45And they are...
05:46...with the judge that this is not a...
05:49It's not a buzón in the sense of punishment,
05:52but it's a separate module.
05:54A separate module.
05:55Sure, the guy like the iris, let's say.
05:59And the truth is that I don't know that physically,
06:01because I'm about to go,
06:02just the other lawyer was able to go,
06:03I now have to go see him.
06:05The good thing would be that all the detainees
06:07have the same...
06:09the same attention.
06:10Of course, yes.
06:11Yes, of course.
06:12I think he's presenting it as a privilege problem.
06:15There is no privilege, sir.
06:16No, no, no, privilege...
06:17Oh, he gets angry, he gets angry fast.
06:19It's just short, crazy.
06:20It's incredible, how does he get angry?
06:22Yes, he just cuts you off and lets you pass.
06:24Of course.
06:25And if I'm for that,
06:27I'm to defend a right,
06:28that's why I let him pass.
06:29No, no, but it's not that I let something happen, yes or no.
06:32What I'm telling you is,
06:33I hope this applies to all the detainees.
06:35I'm not saying that...
06:36Of course.
06:37...it has a benefit, Soria.
06:39It has the same right as any detainee.
06:42That's right.
06:43Clearly.
06:44Now, let me say something else,
06:45because you're treating him like he's a VIP detainee,
06:48but on the other hand...
06:49No, I didn't say VIP.
06:50Why do you put that in my mouth?
06:52Well, you made him understand.
06:54How are you?
06:55No, guys, no, guys, no, guys, guys.
06:57You made him understand.
06:58Let's see, no, let's see.
06:59You have to understand what you want.
07:00Listen.
07:01Yes, let's see.
07:02Do you know what the iris is?
07:03Let's start there.
07:04Do you know?
07:05Do you know?
07:06Well, you, doctor, do you know what the iris is?
07:07The truth is, I don't know what it is.
07:10Perfect.
07:11Then you have to learn a little bit.
07:12Let's see.
07:13In prison, in prison, there is a place,
07:15a pavilion called iris,
07:17which is anti-corruption,
07:19it is anti-arrangement,
07:21it is a pavilion apart from the rest
07:23where all the detainees are cared for, monitored and looked at.
07:29This happened at the time that Voodoo was arrested,
07:33that all the...
07:35The white-collar criminals.
07:37No, not white-collar.
07:38No.
07:40You, a person who has the power to extort,
07:45to pay a fine,
07:47whatever it is,
07:48is in a place with specialized people
07:50to take care of those people
07:51and who cannot get together with the rest of the detainees.
07:54That's called the iris pavilion.
07:56What can I say,
07:57since you have so much specialization
07:58in the way of locking up a person?
08:00No, no, so much specialization, no.
08:01It's knowing a little bit about the prison.
08:03I want to tell you a scoop.
08:04Let's see.
08:05Good, good.
08:06Let's see.
08:07An alert.
08:08An alert.
08:10Give an alert.
08:12Give an alert.
08:21Dr. Sonia López, give an alert.
08:25Come on, Sonia López.
08:26Doctor, I'm listening.
08:28Well, we really can't communicate with Nicolás.
08:31I'm about to make a note informing the Federal Court...
08:34How can I communicate?
08:36because he could talk to me for a while on Friday,
08:41he can't communicate.
08:43I mean, Nicolás, like all the detainees in Marcos Paz,
08:47in the federal penitentiary system,
08:51they can communicate by loading a card
08:53through the criminal's phones
08:55with relatives who are perfectly identified
08:58and with their technical defense.
09:00Well, we, the defenders,
09:02we can't talk to him practically,
09:04not all the weekend, not all this morning,
09:07not all last week,
09:09with Duilo, who was the first one in the file,
09:13who made the appeal, the incarceration incident,
09:16he can't talk for a while on the phone.
09:18The last time he spoke was on Monday last week,
09:21when it became known that they had a meeting,
09:23that Duilo traveled there.
09:25We can't talk on the phone.
09:27I mean, he calls his mother
09:29when it's time, the phone,
09:31and he has loaded the necessary credit.
09:34He calls his mother, and he can communicate.
09:36He calls me, and he can't communicate.
09:38And he has a problem with my phone.
09:40So what does that mean?
09:42I don't know, they're monitoring Nicolás,
09:44as they can do to other prisoners,
09:46but I'm talking about the person I assist.
09:48He can't talk to his lawyers,
09:50that's not good.
09:52No, that's bad.
09:54He has to present a note to the penitentiary service
09:56to see if it can be solved.
09:58It's a guarantee, I mean, the right of defense.
10:00It's a constitutional guarantee,
10:02and we need to communicate with him
10:04every time we have to make a presentation
10:06for him to authorize it.
10:08So, well, that's the situation.
10:10And what would be so urgent
10:12that you have to talk to him?
10:14Because of the pseudo-Fundación Dupuy,
10:16I understand, as Carlos Estriones said,
10:18he's the only one who's still detained, right?
10:20Yes, no, now he's in prison,
10:22because the issue with him
10:24is that he hadn't come to prison,
10:26because there were some erratic procedures
10:28that had to be solved,
10:30and now he's in prison.
10:32From Thursday, his appeal arrived,
10:34because, well, the judge's criteria
10:36was the same for everyone,
10:38that everyone who is detained
10:40was rejected from prison at 10,
10:42and everyone went to prison,
10:44and now the prison has the papers,
10:46with the appeal resource of Nicolás,
10:48and an analysis.
10:50And, well, all that information has to be turned over,
10:52besides, there's a process
10:54that's going to be done on Wednesday
10:56with some, it's going to be the opening
10:58of some phones,
11:00besides, we also have to do
11:02a series of presentations of nullity
11:04with some of the few evidence they presented,
11:06beyond the fact that we did,
11:08that is, the whole presentation of the
11:10discharge evidence was made,
11:12with an impressive volume of evidence
11:14in favor of Nicolás,
11:16we also have to raise a question
11:18about the few evidence there was,
11:20and all that has to be discussed with the client.
11:22I can't believe
11:24that he was able to talk to me
11:26for two minutes on Friday,
11:28when he finished his shift,
11:30when he got the call with me,
11:32everyone can talk to me,
11:34and a client can't talk to me.
11:36Yes, it's very strange.
11:38Sonia, doctor, sorry, Carlos greets you,
11:40Carlos Estriones,
11:42trying to be succinct,
11:44why is Zoria detained?
11:46By decision of the judge,
11:48nothing more and nothing less.
11:50He didn't commit any crime.
11:52And sometimes you defend people
11:54who have committed crimes,
11:56trying to get their rights respected,
11:58and to get the best possible
12:00out of your client's situation.
12:02But really, this client,
12:04we understand that he didn't commit any crime.
12:06It's arbitrary.
12:08It's totally arbitrary.
12:10I think that for political reasons
12:12that have nothing to do with him
12:14or his conduct.
12:16How many people were detained
12:18for arbitrary reasons?
12:20And what do you think,
12:22with this criterion,
12:24Sonia, what do you think
12:26about the fact that the prosecutor
12:28has not yet called Codazzi to testify?
12:30I can't believe it.
12:32There you realize the arbitrariness.
12:34How can it be that people
12:36who seriously tried to cover up
12:38because that cover-up can be seen,
12:40it can be seen that he was able
12:42to really divert the investigation,
12:44that he tried to remove the cause
12:46from the federal forum,
12:48that he was able to do that.
12:50Sonia, the American had already been detained,
12:52he had already been arrested
12:54prior to the disappearance of Loan.
12:56I don't remember.
12:58He never committed a crime,
13:00he was never convicted of any crime.
13:02In the United States,
13:04some process took place.
13:06In the United States, neither,
13:08because we know that he lived like that for a while.
13:10Yes, he had a process,
13:12but it came out absolute.
13:14No, not absolute.
13:16The bail that had to be paid there,
13:18and with that...
13:20No, the bail was to be able to leave.
13:22No, no, no.
13:24The bail is not a conviction fine.
13:26He left absolute.
13:28He has absolution.
13:30Yes, of course.
13:32And when you are absolute,
13:34the state has to apologize to you,
13:36and that is not a precedent
13:38because you were absolute.
13:40But then the American didn't pay anything.
13:42And he could have paid,
13:44but the bail is to be able to have your freedom
13:46while the process lasts.
13:48Well, maybe that's in the North,
13:50and it's not here, and it's not questioned,
13:52and there is no debate.
13:54But apart, if you ask for a certificate in the United States,
13:56and it gives you that he has no precedent,
13:58and if you ask in Argentina
14:00that he was caught and is in the file,
14:02he has no precedent in Argentina.
14:04Let's see, the truth is that what one wants
14:06is that justice is fair,
14:08and the one who has to be arrested is,
14:10and the one who does not have to be,
14:12and I do not know
14:14the entangled that all this is.
14:16For example,
14:18it is true what the doctor raises,
14:20I understand that my assistant is in danger
14:22that he is close to López, right?
14:24Yes.
14:26Okay?
14:28Now explain to me
14:30why they took López out of the stream
14:32and brought him first to Ezeiza and then to Marcopaz.
14:34No, no assistant.
14:36I find it even illogical,
14:38because if you respect ...
14:40with the arbitrary transfer of any detainee.
14:43Here, the problem is that there is no federal prison.
14:46So you have three federal judges.
14:48You have three federal judges.
14:50So if there is a detainee for some reason,
14:52that's a judge, and the closest is U7,
14:55which is Chaco's prison.
14:57And then they handle you like that,
14:58that you can go to Salta, Jucuy, Chaco, Mendoza, Buenos Aires.
15:02To Audelina, for reasons...
15:03But the family members don't get the same.
15:06No, of course not.
15:08To Audelina, for security reasons,
15:10they took her from Ezeiza to Lujan de Cuyo, right?
15:13Of course.
15:14And one would say, well...
15:15For me, the Audelina thing is a clear pressure
15:18and a situation of...
15:20I convey my solidarity to Dr. Chiribín
15:23for really having received five or six complaints
15:27from the Querella.
15:29It seems that the Querella has nothing to do
15:30and is dedicated to harassing Dr. Chiribín,
15:34who is simply trying to do her job with her client.
15:38Hanson is the favorite, but Dr. López
15:41is very clear in some ways.
15:42Very clear.
15:43Without a word in the language, she says things as they are.
15:46I think it's perfect.
15:47Doctor, thank you very much, we are in contact.
15:50Oh, thank you.
15:52Marcelo Hanson is our short cluenin,
15:55from alert 24-7.
15:57Yes, short cluenin.
15:58I think I prefer Dr. López.
16:00I prefer Marcelo Hanson.
16:01Did you see the jopo?
16:03Did you see the jopo he presents?
16:05And it's very Monday.
16:06We know he was...
16:08What, what, what?
16:10Taking a shower.
16:11I'm not going to be precise.
16:12They told me he went on a spiritual retreat.
16:14Doctor, could it be?
16:18He didn't invite me.
16:19He's muted.
16:20He's muted, he's muted.
16:22There he is.
16:23He went on a spiritual retreat with the promotion.
16:25Wait, spiritual retreat?
16:29Yes.
16:30You didn't invite me?
16:32Religious school.
16:33I love spiritual retreats.
16:35Everything happens in spiritual retreats.
16:38Beautiful.
16:39Before, when you said spiritual retreat here,
16:42what I didn't know was spirit.
16:45Guiño, guiño.
16:46Guiño, guiño.
16:47Very well, Marcelo.
16:48We won't ask you anymore, Marcelo.
16:49All right, Marcelo.
16:50We'll continue tomorrow.
16:51Thank you. Have a good afternoon.
16:54Give me a hug.
