The prosecutors Gabriela Fossati and Ferdinand Roman met this Monday with the surrogate court prosecutor, Juan Gomez after a conflict between the two became known, and the complaint for gender violence that Romano received in the middle of the investigation into the case of the former presidential custodian Alexander Astesiano. Gómez finally decided to relegate Fossati from the case after some disagreements, who will be transferred to the Flagrancy Prosecutor’s Office of 16th shiftwhich was vacant.
The fiscal Sabrina Florescurrently in charge of the 10th Turn of the Montevideo Criminal Prosecutor’s Office, will assume the place of Fossati, who had told Gómez that he suffered “harassment”, “unsafety” and “various pressures” following the case. Gómez, assured that the change responds to “various statements by the prosecutor about her need for work and personal well-being”, and that in it “the functional or acquired career rights of the transferred professional are not injured.”
The court prosecutor announced the decision at a press conference, after holding a meeting of approximately one hour with Fossati. The idea of the meeting had arisen after he publicly expressed the “real possibility” of transferring to the magistrate. However, the prosecutor had asked that she not be removed from the investigation in front of the wide Gustavo Loyal.
Last week was intense for the prosecutor, having returned a week earlier than expected from her medical leave, she received a complaint against her person made by Diego Camano, Loyal’s lawyer. In another order, Fossati filed a report for a situation of gender violence experienced by his colleague Romano, for which Gómez had immediately begun an investigation.
Another dispute between Romano and Fossati
On the other hand, Romano was removed from the case denounced by Fossati for a alleged crime of defamation and insults that the president of the broad front (FA), Fernando Pereira, the director of Faces and Masks, Alberto Grille, and three users of social networks.
The decision was his and he communicated it to the owner of the Public ministrywho in turn understood that it was not “logical” for the prosecutor to continue leading the case after Fossati’s complaint of gender violence to Romano.
Pereira criticized the prosecutor on February 22 on television, when he said that “I had not acted according to the law”and that “he has not told Leal why he was under investigation,” added the FA leader.
In turn, Grille published a column under the title: “The law cannot be twisted”, in which he criticized Fossati for the abbreviated process achieved with the defense of Astesiano.
