The trial against four men accused of belonging to a structure that attacked taxi drivers who provided the service through a mobile application reached its conclusion stage.
The Public Ministry (MP) presented the arguments before the Seventh Court of Criminal Sentencing, with which it requested prison sentences of between 9 and 71 years against the accused.
The MP’s fiscal agent requested that César Augusto Rivas, Henry Ricardo Cabrera Vanegas and Jorge López Barrientos be sentenced to 71 years in prison.
“The prosecution considers that the accusatory thesis has been demonstrated and supported, and positive probative value is given to all the evidence that has been completed,” said the prosecutor.
“The Public Ministry, an honorable court, requests that at the time of sentencing, César Augusto Rivas, Henry Ricardo Cabrera and Jorge Giovani Barrientos be sentenced to six years in prison for the crime of illicit association; for the crime of homicide to 18 years in prison; For the crime of plagiarism or kidnapping, a sentence of 21 years in prison is imposed; for the crime of aggravated robbery, a sentence of 26 years in prison is imposed,” he added.
In the case of the crime of aggravated robbery and the 26 years requested, they are broken down into three actions: the theft of a cell phone from one of the victims, 9 years; the theft of a vehicle, 8 years, and 9 years for robbing the premises of an internet cafe.
The total prison request against the three accused amounts to 71 years in prison.
For Israel Tzampop, the fourth defendant, the prosecutor requested a sentence of 9 years in prison for the crime of marketing mobile terminal equipment reported as stolen, stolen, lost or altered.
Pleads guilty
Before beginning the conclusions of the debate, Henry Ricardo Cabrera Vanegas, accused of participating in the events, requested to testify before the Court, this through his defense attorney.
“I did participate in the theft of the internet,” he began his statement.
“The other accusations that the Public Ministry is making against me are false,” he said.
“There is no audio, no call that they had that day of those events with me. They say that I am the one who drove the car of the boy who was murdered. What I do take responsibility for is the robbery, because unfortunately I have my mother who is diabetic and I lost my job, I do recognize that I participated in that, nothing more,” Cabrera Vanegas concluded.
The court scheduled the sentencing hearing for April 10.
