Gil Pereg's arguments to allow him to live with his cats in prison – ElSol.com.ar – Diario de Mendoza, Argentina

The defense of Nicolás Gil Pereg, a 37-year-old Israeli prisoner for the double crime of his mother and aunt, insists that the prison authorities allow him to live with his cats in San Felipe Prison.

Lawyers for the only one accused of brutal killings used a "legal loophole" to reiterate the claim. In any case, judicial sources ensure that it will be rejected.

In a brief presented on Tuesday, it is mentioned that Gil Pereg "is isolated from the rest of the prison population, so the demand would not affect other residents of the complex".

With the signature of lawyers Marcos Segovia and Maximiliano Legrand, it is also mentioned that "the amount of food needed" will be provided to the cats. And guarantees that the food must be divided and supplied "by prison staff or failing that by the same inmate".

The argument used by the defenders of the Israeli is at least curious: They ask the judge to determine if there are other animals in the prison (cats, dogs, etc.) before deciding whether to accept Gil Pereg's request or not., which is housed in the San Felipe complex II.

The obsession of the man for his cats has attracted the attention of researchers. Even after being arrested, He threatened suicide if his pets were not taken to jail.
