maximum thomsen broke down after the Court of Dolores sentenced him to life imprisonment for the crime of Fernando Baez Sosa. The transmission of the sentence had to be interrupted due to the malaise of the convicted person, and they requested the presence of a doctor in the room. Ciro Pertossi, Enzo Comelli, Matías Benicelli and Luciano Pertossi were also sentenced to the same penalty.

The court announced the verdict after rejecting the motion for annulment requested by the rugbiers’ defense lawyer, Hugo Tomei.
From now on, both the prosecution and the defense will have seven days to present the appeal in the Court of Cassation of the Province of Buenos Aires, which does not have deadlines to rule on the subject, since despite the fact that the law establishes the need for as many lovers as possible to be issued on the case, Cassation could take a period of more than two years to pronounce a sentence, due to the large number of files they must review. In case of not complying with the stipulated term, they will not be able to appeal the sentence.
