The eleventh and final week of the trial against our comrades Aldo and Lucas came to an end. Following the closing arguments by the prosecution and the defense teams for both comrades, which were in response to the statements made by both sides in order to present their own theories, the prosecution was emphatic in pointing out the guilt of both defendants in the acts with which they were charged. Aldo was charged with crime No. 1, which corresponded to the attack on the National Gendarmerie Directorate, as well as crime No. 2, which was after the raids, for which he was charged with the items found in Loncura, Quintero, and crime No. 3, which involved Lucas and the items found at the La Victoria neighborhood residence, as noted in the previous update.
On October 3, the judges began the verdict hearing, in which Aldo was convicted of the attack, but acquitted of the crimes of 16 less serious injuries to gendarmerie officials and the crime of receiving stolen goods. Regarding incident No. 2, he was convicted of the crimes charged at the residence in Loncura, and regarding incident No. 3, he was acquitted of all crimes at the residence in La Victoria.
Lucas was convicted of the vast majority of the crimes at the residence in La Población La Victoria, except for the crimes of manufacturing weapons and manufacturing explosive devices, of which he was acquitted.
After the verdict, the sentencing phase began, which concluded with the plaintiffs requesting a sentence of 32 years and 1,100 days for Aldo and 18 years and 800 days for Lucas. On the defense side, they requested a sentence of 26 years for Aldo and 12 years for Lucas. The final outcome and length of the sentences will be determined by the judges on the day the sentence is read. At the same hearing, the date for the reading was set for Monday, November 3 of this year.
SOLIDARITY AND ACTION WITH OUR COMPAÑEROS ALDO AND LUCAS
