“I couldn’t grab the fucking mother. The parrot shell, I told you to come”, the words are by Francisco Sáenz Valiente (52) and correspond to the moment in which Emmily Rodrigues (26) falls from the balcony of her apartment in Withdrawal. He speaks to Juliana, the other woman who was with them during the episode that ended with the young Brazilian dead. The recording, which Clarín accessed, is the second call to 911 that the businessman made to ask for help.
Sáenz Valiente’s lawyer, Rafael Cúneo Libarona, said that the audio was incorporated into the case. As he explained, his client’s phone “is turned on and thrown on the floor and there the screams are heard where Sáenz Valiente says ‘he escaped me, he escaped me, he threw himself'”.
Cúneo Libarona released the audio during the visual inspection made by the judges of the Crime Chamber to the department of Libertad 1542. The magistrates must define the future of the case in which it is investigated whether Emmily’s death was a femicide or a suicide. The case occurred on the morning of March 30.
When the defender was asked what had happened that day, he insisted that the young woman suffered “a psychotic break”, that Sáenz Valiente prevented her from jumping out of a window on two occasions and that he failed on his third attempt when he tried to tackle her. and he was left with the victim’s pants in his hand and the girl fell into the lung of the building.
During the visual inspection of the chambermaids, the complaint representing Emmily’s family denounced that at least two accesses to the house did not have judicial closure strips.
Emmily Rodrigues Santos Gomes (26), the Brazilian model who died when she fell from a sixth floor in Retiro.
The operation started after 10 a.m. and also included the ground floor, the patio of the lung where the victim fell and common areas of the building.
Participating in the inspection were judges Magdalena Laíño, Ricardo Matías Pinto and Ignacio Rodríguez Varela, members of Chamber 6 of the National Criminal and Correctional Appeals Chamber, the plaintiff attorney representing the victim’s parents, Ignacio Trimarco, and the private defender of the accused businessman, Rafael Cúneo Libarona.
“It was very useful and I highlight the work of the chambermaids for having taken the time to come to inspect the scene in a case as delicate as this one,” Trimarco told Télam at the end of the procedure.

However, the lawyer in the complaint denounced that “the reason should be investigated” for which “an access from the seventh floor to the home of Sáenz Valiente, which is a duplex, appeared in no previous planimetry.”
Trimarco assured that in the inspection he was able to corroborate that both that door and a service entrance on the sixth floor, “was not covered” by the investigators.
“This proves the lack of preservation of the place of the event and is, to say the least, striking,” said the family’s lawyer.

The complainant also warned as another alleged irregularity that “despite the fact that they always said that there were no cameras in the house, it was noticed that there was one torn from the main door, another that is at the entrance to the kitchen and a central with cables that could be from a removed DVR.”
For his part, Cúneo Libarona agreed that the inspection was “very useful” and added: “It helps the three members of the Chamber to solve contextually, that is, they see the distances from one place to another and can understand what it says in writing a witness”.
“This diligence is requested by us. All in discovery of the truth. The losses are, on the one hand, the family of Sáenz Valiente devastated by what happened. On the other, Emmily’s family devastated by what happened, that is, Nobody won here, everyone has lost,” he said.
Earlier, when they arrived at the inspection, the two lawyers referred to the messages recovered from Sáenz Valiente’s cell phone, where the agrominer’s businessman warned two of the women who went to his house that morning that he had “tuci, coca and faso”, as published by Télam.
While for Trimarco these communications “prove in principle the free supply of narcotics”, for Cúneo Libarona “does not make the organization of an event to consume drugs” and insisted on the version that the defendant gave in his investigation that “what he bought He did not offer it to others and it was for his personal consumption.”
Chamber 6 of the Crime Chamber intervenes because both the complaint and the prosecutors in the case appealed the lack of merit that Judge Martín Del Viso issued on April 18 for Sáenz Valiente, who was released after spending 20 days in custody for the case. .
Next May 22, at 12, they will hold an oral hearing where it will be defined if they confirm the lack of merit or if there are elements to prosecute him for a crime.
Prosecutors requested that the businessman be prosecuted with preventive detention for two crimes: “femicide”, which provides for a life sentence, and “facilitation of narcotic drugs and a place to use them” which, according to Drug Law 23,737, is punishable with imprisonment from 3 to 12 years if free of charge.
In their opinion, the prosecutors highlighted, among other points, that it was a case of “serious violence against women”, that Emmily’s death occurred in a “sexualized context”, that there was a “facilitation of of drugs” and the address where they were consumed, and that the scene was “altered”.
The toxicological studies carried out by the Forensic Medical Corps revealed that, before falling into the void, the Brazilian model consumed alcohol (1.0 grams in blood was the dosage), cocaine, marijuana, ketamine and MDMA (one of the components of tuci, the form abbreviated to call “Tucibi” by the English pronunciation of the acronym 2C-B, which is the misnamed “pink cocaine”).
One of the main hypotheses of the lawsuit is that Emmily was drugged for sexual purposes and that she ended up being pushed or falling out of the window when trying to ask for help and get out of that situation.
