First agreement for the Festival in Olivos: one of the accused will pay $200,000 to a hospital to be dismissed

The Festival in Olivos is aimed at ending with an agreement with all the accused. Carolina Marafioti, one of the participants in that meeting, has just reached an agreement with the prosecutor in the case and will donate $200,000 to a hospital to end up being dismissed. It only remains to be approved by the judge in the case, Lino Mirabelli.

This is the first agreement in the case, but it will not be the only one. In August last year, when he was about to be charged by prosecutor Ramiro González, President Alberto Fernández offered to donate half of his salary for four months at the Malbrán Institute.

In the coming days, first lady Fabiola Yañez will also make a similar presentation through her lawyer, Juan Pablo Fioribello, as he told this media in December last year.

Technically, the agreement reached by Marafioti implies the termination of criminal proceedings in the terms of article 59 i niso 6 of the Criminal Code, which states that the criminal action shall be extinguished “by conciliation or comprehensive reparation for injury, in accordance with the provisions of the corresponding procedural laws”.

Marafioti is represented in the case by lawyer Alejandro Rúa, who defended Vice President Cristina Kirchner and defends Amado Boudou.

In her offer to prosecutor Fernando Dominguez, Rúa stressed that her defendant does not have assets in her name and that she rents a three-room apartment in the Belgrano neighborhood. In addition, he stressed that he is a monotaxist to perform his tasks as a stylist.

When accepting the reparation, the prosecutor also took into account that Marafioti has dependent children. “It is difficult to measure the damage caused in this type of case for the purposes of reparation, however, if you can try to establish any criteria that would make the institute operational, involving the interests at stake,” said the prosecutor in his opinion, to which Infobae had access.

The Prosecutor proposed that the money be donated to the Petrona V. de Cordero Provincial Hospital in San Fernando.

Marafioti is one of the defendants in the judicial investigation for the violation of the strict quarantine that occurred on July 14, 2020. The rest of those attending that meeting were Yañez, President Alberto Fernández, Sofía Pacchi, Florencia Fernández Peruilh, Santiago Basavilbaso, Emanuel Esteban Lopez, Stefania Dominguez, Fernando Consagra, Rocío Fernández Peruilh and Federico Abraham.

The President's defensive strategy changed since the beginning of the scandal: he started representing himself and filing a demand for “lack of action”, but last December he appointed two lawyers he trusted and aligned himself with the rest of the defenses.

The agreement reached by Marafioti would be the starting point for the rest of the defenses to be presented, although each reparation would depend on the economic situation of the accused. It must first be accepted by the Prosecutor's Office and then approved by the judge.

The judicial file began in Comodoro Py and then moved to San Isidro in September last year, when Judge Sebastián Casanello declared himself incompetent and the parties decided not to appeal. From that moment on, the investigation accumulated dozens of test measures.
