Fossati has been certified since March 4 and is being replaced by the prosecutor of Flagrancy of 9th turn, Fernando Romano.
Fossati wants to step aside
Fossati, requested through a letter addressed to the Court prosecutor, to be relieved of the case, after the disclosure of a private conversation he had with a journalist during the past year, something that, he understands, leaves the Prosecutor’s Office in a new scenario of tension, where it is best to step aside.
