Gabriela Pérez's crime: strong statements by the prosecutor Laura Battistelli about obstruction of justice and rented mafias

The article discusses the criminal case of Gabriela Pérez, a 22-year-old woman whose murder is being investigated by Fiscal Laura Battistelli. Battistelli claims there were obstacles within the justice system and involvement of organized crime groups known as 'mafias rentadas', organized groups linked to urban services and union conflicts. She highlights the role of 'servidores urbanos' and 'referentes urbanos,' including hooligans who provide support during labor disputes in exchange for payments. The case involves two factions within the cleaning workers' union: Más Soelsac (supported by Surbacc) and the long-standing leadership of Soelsac. Battistelli asserts that the victims' lives were sacrificed due to these power struggles. The trial, set to begin on September 1st, will involve citizen jurors. Battistelli compares the case to another high-profile murder, emphasizing the severity of the accused individuals’ past convictions. The article also references ongoing tensions between union leaders and raises questions about why the court delayed the proceedings.
