Intimidation of the alleged murderer

I also wrote to them on Facebook, «confessing his crime without shame. “The very miserable man is very unpunished,” Rodriguez added before commenting that after learning the story he contacted other lawyers and they took on the case for free.
The group of lawyers managed to have Gaibor prosecuted and given a ruling preventive detention.
He highlighted that Alejandro Alemán and Jorge Arévalo, the prosecutors who took on the case, did “a wonderful job, technically but, above all, humanly.” However, he assures, Gaibor remains a fugitive and with a red Interpol diffusion.
«Are the Police looking for him? No. Today is the time to look for ‘narcos’ and terrorists. That is the priority. Always, for the tragedies of the poorest, there is a priority that excludes them.

He recalled that the murder cannot be judged in absence, so he asked the Police to capture Gaibor: “They have the arrest warrant in the system. They don’t need more.
«We will never be able to return Marcelo to the arms of his sister and his mother, but if we all get active, we will be able, at least, to tell them that we too there is justice for them«, he concluded by relating the X accounts of Salazar and Palencia in his message. EFE
