The Specialized Prosecutor Unit in Complex Criminal Investigationin charge of Doctor José María Campagnoli and the CFederal Unified Command for the Recapture of Escapees They found one of the most wanted fugitives and with a request for a reward of five million pesos, Maximilian Jose Espinillo. The detainee had been on the run since August 10, 2018, when he was sentenced to six years in prison for sexually abusing a minor.
Locating him was not an easy task, he knew the sentence that weighed on him, so he had practically disappeared from all the places he frequented. However, detectives from the Search for Fugitives Division of the Superintendence of Federal Investigationsduring this morning, as a result of a complex investigation ordered by the Oral Court for Minors No. 3 in charge of Dr. Sergio Eduardo Realthey captured him.
According to reports, the use of new technologies for criminal investigation recently incorporated, added to the exploitation of social networks, telephone analysis, more constant checks, allowed us to establish that he was sheltering in his parents’ house, in the Constitución neighborhood.
In that intelligence; months ago and with almost vehement indications that it was there, various surveillance was carried out that allowed direct observation of the property. The measure paid off by certifying the presence at the place of the fugitive, with some different traits different from those found years ago.
As a result, the pertinent judicial measure was required, which was granted at night and materialized at dawn, with the participation not only of Investigative investigations but also of Special Groups. Espinillo was caught sleeping in a room of the chorizo-type house that he used as a hideout on the street Luis Sáenz Peña at 1900 from the city of Buenos Aires. At this time, the detainee is waiting in the dungeons of the Superintendence of Federal Investigations.
“He is one of the most wanted fugitives in the country. The entire process was released and he escaped shortly before the sentence was finalized,” they had reported from the Secretariat for the Capture of Fugitives (Secap)a body dependent on the Specialized Prosecutor Unit in Complex Criminal Investigation (Ufecri), who has been involved in the case for nearly two years. At present, there is no official figure on the number of fugitives from Justice in our country. While some sources estimate around 45,000, others believe that the figure may be around a little over 20,000. The reward offered for Espinillo’s capture was around 500,000 pesos.
It had been almost 10 years since Antonella Cardozo He denounced Maximiliano Espinillo, his mother’s cousin, for the horror he had put him through between the ages of 5 and 12. But now he was one step away from going to jail. However, the relief was short-lived. Before the Police could notify him, Espinillo became invisible, a fugitive from Justice.
The worst possible scenario was that Espinillo remained in hiding during the five and a half years in jail with which he had been convicted of aggravated abuse and corruption of minors. In that case, and as established in the Penal Code, the sentence would prescribe without the fact that he was a fugitive modifying things. And once he prescribed, he could go through life without being held accountable for what he had done to her. Finally, the news that happened at dawn prevented this outcome.
