The family of Santiago Maldonado said that Judge Lleral had told them that he was "narrow and extorted" to close the case

It was barely nine o'clock on Thursday when Estela's phone rang, mom's mom Santiago Maldonado, in his home in the city of Buenos Aires on the 25th of Mayo. On the other hand, the voice of the Rawson federal judge sounded, Guillermo Lleral, who told him that the cause of the forced disappearance of the young tattooist was closed. "I call you first so that you do not find out by the media," said the magistrate before admitting that he had been "Extorted" and "greenhouse" close the file.

This version of events is the one that was broadcast by the Maldonado family a few hours after the discovery of judicial novelty, in a statement where they reproduce "the dialogue between Estela and the judge of the case":

"I call you first so you do not find out by the media," he said. & # 39; They have me extorted & # 39;, & # 39; all my work team & me we are tight to close the cause& # 39; & # 39; that's why I have to do this, & # 39; do not know everything my team and I are working on, & # 39;the facts are not a crime& # 39 ;; "I hope that now I make the silent duel".
Estela asked, "Is there anyone jailed for Santiago's death?"
The judge answered "not now".
Estela told him: "I will not do the silent duel, I will wait for justice to be done"", is the first paragraph of the text disclosed.

The family recounts in this document that Lleral then communicated with Sergio Maldonado, Santiago's eldest brother, at 9:27, and informed him of the closing of the affair. "I totally agree or disagree, but he had to make a decision, not tell him everything by phone and everything would be in the notification. "Obviously, you are able to do what you feel convenient", that he had already called to the mother, that he behaved humanly from the beginning, like all his team, that he hoped to be able to close this stage and make the duel in peace, "the statement said.

Still according to the family version, at 10 o'clock Verónica Heredia, Maldonado's lawyer, has received the resolution dated November 29, which has 263 pages. In the Lleral document, a 63-page document was attached, signed by a representative of INTI, where the results of the expertise are communicated to Santiago ID: "the last relevant test awaiting production ", according to the judge.

In its decision, Lleral rejected the measures requested by Heredia and rejected Constable Emmanuel Echazú. "The resolution advanced by Infobae and Clarín yesterday (Wednesday) only shows that We are facing a crime of state, before an enforced disappearance followed by death, where each of the state's people who intervened from 1 August 2017 to the date of the date in cases 8232/2017 and 8233/2017, are responsible ", said the family .

"This resolution, dictated in the G20, with all the security forces deployed all over the country, shows that they know their injustice and arbitrariness, that they know our strength as a leader of the people and that they know that we will resist, "said the family.

For Sergio Maldonado, the death of his brother is still a "forced disappearance". It is based on the fact that the depth of the river in August of last year was not enough for his brother to drown, and that at the autopsy, the date of death of the young man could never be specified. That's why the family anticipated this will appeal the measure before the superior and international courts.

"We will continue to fight from the first day against the impunity imposed by the state with its media, but also from the first day, with all the tools guaranteed by the rule of law, accompanied by the organized civil society in the streets ", closes the document.

Today, at around 9:10 am on November 29, 2018, Judge Lleral, who is in charge of habeas corpus proceedings and enforced disappearance in Santiago, phoned Estela, mother of Santiago.
We reproduce the dialogue between Estela and the judge of the case:
"I call you first so that you do not find the media", "I'm extorted", "all my work team and I are forced to close the case", "that's all." that's why I have to do it "," no knows everything my team and I do "," the facts are not a crime "; "I hope that now I make the silent duel".
Estela asked: "Is there anyone jailed for Santiago's death?"
The judge answered "not now".
Estela told him, "I'm not going to make the silent duel, I'm going to wait for justice to be done."
At 9:27 am, Judge Lleral telephoned Sergio by telephone to inform him that he had already filed the case, whether he agreed or disagreed, but that He had to make a decision, that he was not going to explain everything to him by phone. that everything was going to be in the notification. That "you are obviously able to do what you think fit," that he had already called to the mother, that he had behaved humanly from the beginning as all his team, that he hoped to be able to close this stage and make the duel in peace.
At 10 o'clock we notified the resolution to our lawyer. The resolution consists of 263 pages and is dated November 29, 2018. It is preceded by a certificate of the secretary dated November 28, 2018, in which he receives 63 sheets by email from INTIGIERE INTIMIERO GIMENEZ of INTI. .
On the same 28 November, the judge accumulates the case of habeas corpus with enforced disappearance "in response to the fact that in the context of this investigation, the report corresponding to the last relevant piece of evidence pending production has just To be received ". Immediately dictates the resolution of November 29, in which he rejects all the evidence that we have presented, rejects Echazu and organizes the record of both cases.
The early resolution by Infobae and Clarín yesterday only shows that we are facing a state crime, before an enforced disappearance followed by death, where every citizen of the state who intervened from August 1, 2017 to Date day in causes 8232/2017 and 8233/2017, are responsible.
This resolution, published as part of the G20, with all the security forces deployed throughout the country, shows that they are aware of their injustice and arbitrariness, that they know our strength as a ## 147 ## 39, accompanying the population and that they know we will resist.
We will continue to fight from the first day against the impunity imposed by the entire state on the media. But also from day one, with all the tools that the rule of law guarantees us accompanied by an organized civil society in the streets.
