It seemed case closed. However, the crime of Fernando Perez Algaba It is becoming an inexhaustible source of news that adds uncertainty to the cause. Dismissed the names of several Boca Juniors barrabravas, now it is the turn of Charlotte Caniggia (30), whom one of the main defendants in the murder, Horacio Mariano Córdoba, commissioner of the City Police, included in his statement after assuring that one of the key buildings where the merchant shot and dismembered carried out his activities was owned by the daughter of the former soccer player Claudio Paul Caniggia and of Mariana Nannis.
For the model’s environment, however, the play of including a media name like hers in the investigation only seeks to muddy her.
According to the transcript of the statement, Commissioner Córdoba stated that he “knew Perez Algaba because he had given him $3,000 for an investment in cryptocurrencies, an amount for which he promised to return monthly interest, something that never happened. That time he visited his “very ostentatious” office, in which he assures that “there were many computers and boys trading.”
According to the witness, he learned from Fernando’s own statements that “the office had been lent to him by Charlotte Caniggia.”
Faced with such a media impact, the lawyer for the Pérez Algaba family, Javier Banos, immediately requested to the prosecutor Marcelo Domínguez, of the Functional Instruction Unit (UFI) No. 5 of Lomas de Zamora, “that Miss Charlotte Caniggia be summoned as a witness in the case, so that she can clarify her situation.”
Contacted by NOTICIAS, the lawyer argued: “Córdoba, as the defendant, began to throw garbage everywhere in order to decriminate himself, and among all the garbage he threw around, he said that Charlotte provided, lent or rented an apartment to Pérez She was at the place where she had the entire structure set up for the cryptocurrency business.” The lawyer explains: “So, as the law offers me, calling her to testify is for the sole purpose of denying or not the statements of Córdoba. It is a kind of quoted evacuation of what this defendant said who is also in prison. She is not summoned for an investigation, only summoned as a witness.
Regarding the obligation to appear to testify, Baños clarifies: “No one is linking or incriminating her. Only that she is named by one of the defendants and that appointment must be evacuated. It is a mere formality. And what she says may or may not be enlightening. If she says that she doesn’t know anything, that she doesn’t know him, and that she has nothing to do with him, that’s it; now, if she declares something that is unknown or raises doubts, her testimony can open a line of investigation that can contribute something or a lot to the cause ”.
It should be noted that the name of the media model and singer arises from the statement made by Horacio Córdoba, who worked until the time of the crime within the Undersecretary of Technology and Information Technology of the Buenos Aires Ministry of Justice and Security.
He was in charge of monitoring the troops and mobiles of the Buenos Aires force. Córdoba is accused of assisting the main suspect, Maximiliano Pilepich, who, according to the investigation, was the one who fired the two shots that ended the life of Pérez Algaba.
The prosecutor in the case, Marcelo Domínguez, deduces that the commissioner provided Pilepich with the cell phone with which he communicated -since last July 18, the day he was allegedly murdered- with his accomplices, including Nahuel Vargas, also detained. last week. Such a telephone belonged to a game awarded to the Buenos Aires Security portfolio.
More mystery.
For his part, Alejandro Cipolla, Charlotte’s lawyer, spoke with NEWS about the instance in which his client is: “He will appear to testify without problems.” While they waited for the formal summons to close this edition, he added: “I imagine that Pérez Algaba will have mentioned the name of Charlotte Caniggia to give more identity and credibility to her shady business, such as that of the traders. I understand that Córdoba must be repeating what she remembers to distort the cause or shift the focus of the investigation ”.
Regarding the possibility that the property where Pérez Algaba carried out his stock and financial operations belongs to Caniggia, Cipolla categorically denies it: “It is absolutely false. But if it were true, he doesn’t link her to the murder or the cause either. I know that a photo of this ‘Lettuce’ with Charlotte’s father, Claudio Paul Caniggia, is circulating around, but these types of characters take photos with all possible celebrities to later chat on their social networks. Fernando was a well-known character within what is Puerto Madero and car sales. He surely had dinner with Caniggia, we all know that he is passionate about cars, and nothing more. But from there to having a relationship or a business link with Charlotte, it is absurd ”.
So the fact that Charlotte lent an office to Pérez Algaba is false? Her lawyer, as can be seen, opens the umbrella: even if it were true, he does not link her to her case.
Asked about the rumors that link Pérez Algaba with Charlotte’s boyfriend, Roberto Storino Landi (38), the media lawyer comments: “If the investigations show that Pérez Algaba had a business relationship with Storino Landi, then they should also call him to testify he. I legally represent Charlotte and everything that has to do with her good name “. And he concludes:” I suspect that they will continue to include more celebrities in order to delay time and dirty the investigation in all its instances.
Until now, for the crime of “quadruply qualified homicide by the use of a weapon, treachery, greed”, the aforementioned Córdoba and the alleged perpetrators Pilepich and Vargas, to whom the “false testimony” was also added, are being detained. The other detainees are Luis Contrera -he received the body at his home-, Flavia Lorena Bomrad -Pilepich’s lover-, Matías Gil -Pilepich’s partner- and Fernando Gastón Carrizo -in charge of the security of the Pilepich department-, all witnesses of the crime and necessary participants in the removal of evidence. For her part, Judge Monelos granted the freedom to Blanca Gladys Cristaldo, accused of hiding Pilepich in her house from Moreno while he was wanted by the police.
