In the penal call of hell, Alan Schlenker has two reasons to continue dreaming of a more promising future than a life between four walls in the rawson jailwhere he is housed in compliance with the life sentence for the crime of Gonzalo Acro. On the one hand, the consecration of love after a conflictive separation from his first wife and mother of his nine-year-old son. The second, the chance that his case will be reviewed by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, where he appealed and now awaits a final decision.
While from his social networks he continues to challenge Justice and swears that he is innocent, the former head of Los Borrachos del Tablón has reason to see a little more darkness in his present. Last Tuesday in one of the main rooms of the prison he married Patry, the woman with whom he began a relationship a little over two years ago. His new wife is the mother of two boys and lives in the southern area where Schlenker has been imprisoned for more than four years after being transferred from the much more comfortable Azul prison, where inmates, among other things, can study university degrees or finish their studies. previous. There the barrabrava was studying law and was in charge of the prison garden because of his knowledge of the agricultural world (his family has fields in Jovita, Córdoba). Instead Trelew is the closest thing to El Marginal: it has a pavilion with number 10 called La Villa, which is very complicated, in winter the temperature is below five degrees, there is no heating and overcrowding is felt in every corridor.
In that inhospitable setting that seems complicated to generate any type of resocialization, the primary objective of the prisons, is that Schlenker decided to turn his life around as he showed on his social networks: in the multipurpose room and in the presence of his Father Wilhem and relatives of his new wife, and the attentive gaze of prison officers, married in a ceremony conducted by a Rawson civil judge. And after the “yes, I do” of the couple, there was a waltz, party favors, celebration cake and a carnival-style train from Rio de Janeiro to the rhythm of the song “I love you so much” by Sergio Denis with his wife, her children, his father and himself, all dressed in a River shirt.
This is not the first time that the eldest of the brothers formalizes (both are sentenced to life in prison for the crime of Acro, but William, the youngest, is housed in the Marcos Paz prison). When he was already sentenced in the first instance to life imprisonment, which happened on September 8, 2011, he established a relationship with a Cordovan doctor named Ines M., with whom he had a son whose name Infobae preserves and is now nine years old. The couple ended up separating and with a demand for food and social work fee for the child that according to Schlenker’s ex-wife was not covered by the former head of the bar or by his relatives who had come out as guarantors. The relationship of the former leader of Los Borrachos with his family has different edges: while he is in a fight to the death with his brother William, who accused him of taking money from the bar in a note with this medium last year, he maintains a fluid telephone deal with his mother via Internet video calls and receives regular visits from his father in Rawson, to the point that he was present at the wedding. Those visits were interrupted at the worst moment of the pandemic, which led Schlenker to generate a judicial request in September 2020 to have them replaced, which was denied by the Justice of Comodoro Rivadavia, which only rehabilitated them when the COVID- 19 yielded its virulence.
The other objective outside of love that the former bar raised a long time ago is to show that he was unjustly convicted, beyond the fact that his case went through an investigating judge, three investigating chamberlains, three trial judges, three Cassation chamberlains and the Supreme Court of Justice, in addition to all the prosecutors who worked in each of these instances. Schlenker continues to affirm that he did not instigate the Acro crime, that it was revenge by the system for confronting José María Aguilar, president of the club, at the time, and that is why requested the intervention of the Inter-American Court of Justice to turn history around. And at this point he also got a positive wink: the Rapporteur Commission that has his process was able to declare his case admissible since, unusually, the Argentine Government never answered in the last two years the requirements that were formulated by the IACHR. The last time the Inter-American Court summoned the Government was with a letter directly addressed to former Foreign Minister Felipe Solá, giving him 60 days to respond. That answer never came, which Schlenker harbors the hope that in the face of this lack the Court will take up the case and resolve it. And while he waits for that outcome, he decided to bet on love and get married in the Hell prison where he has lived for four years and, if the judicial appeal is rejected, he will continue to live for at least 36 more years.
