Prosecutor Sandra Fleitas charged the National Party member with “association to commit a crime, slander in real repetition and defamation.”
The activist of National Party, Romina Celeste Papasso, will have to serve house arrest for 90 days for the crimes of criminal association, slander and defamation, after promoting the false complaint against the candidate of the Broad Front, Yamandú Orsi.
After the conviction of Paula Diaz, The fiscal Sandra Fleitas made the decision to formalize Papasso and requested preventive detention, but the judge Eduardo Bueno decided to heed the request of the defense lawyer, Elizabeth Frogge. In this way, Romina Celeste must remain with an anklet until next August 4.
“The Prosecutor’s Office asked for the preventive prison because she understood that the conduct she had carried out was serious,” Fleitas warned about the judicial decision and noted that “everything that has to do with the credibility of the Justice system has been called into question.”
At a press conference, Fleitas maintained that “putting in place the framework of carrying out an investigation by a prosecutor, asking for measures from a judge and also making the Police, It means that those human resources that would have to be provided for other types of issues and that we do not attend to because we are dedicating our time to this specific case, we understand that they are serious in nature.
“The Prosecutor’s Office understood that the conditions were not met due to the things that were still pending completion, which it understood could in some way even mutate its legal classification,” he said about the lack of conviction.
