By Victoria Ginzberg former intelligence agent of the Federal Police Luis Antonio Falco received the maximum sentence given to date for the offense. Juan Cabandié was complainant in the case. The testimony of the daughter of the repressor was key. Eighteen years
. The maximum penalty that until now was an appropriate for a child missing. That was the sentence imposed by Judge Maria Servini de Cubria Luis Antonio Falco for holding and hiding Juan Cabandié, as well as marital status tampering and falsifying documents. Eighteen years. One more than it had when she gave birth Alicia Alfonsin in one room of the School of Naval Mechanics. "I'm relieved. Happy that justice is served," said Rep. Kirchner spoke slowly and calmly when they surrounded the microphones and cameras, still in the room of the Courts.
The hearing was short. The Secretary read the sentence. The judge said little. Said that copies of the resolution were to be delivered to the office 2113. There was silence. The age-mates John, his family, friends, other grandchildren recovered, and as journalists were expecting something else. "It is finished the act," he said Servini de Cubria. Was over. And then came the applause and hugs, including John and his sister Vanina, the biological daughter of Falco, who testified against his father in court. Through the window came the music, the sound of the act he was preparing a few meters by ten years of the cause they were investigating whether the adopted children of the owner of Clarín are victims of state terrorism.
The accused was not. As the case is processed under the old code, which meant that the process was written-the appropriator asked not to attend the reading of the verdict. Falco, a former intelligence agent of the Federal Police, was arrested last week. Judge Rodolfo Canicoba Corral had benefited from an elimination of any prison at the beginning of the investigation, although it had been on the run. Servini de Cubria ordered him to stop last Thursday. If he had ordered his arrest yesterday in the time of sentencing, Falco could have gone free while appealing the ruling. Now remain in prison. Attorneys for Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo Alan Iud, Luciano Hazan and Chit Augustine withdrew satisfied, the sentence had been more important to an appropriator. "Little by little we are improving," said Abel Madariaga, Secretary of grandparents and parents of a grandchild recovered.
Cabandié, which was complainant in the case, said he did not quantify the condemnation matter, but justice was done. I always thought the 400 kids who are still missing and that's why, precisely, what had been encouraged to speak in the act of March 24, 2004, when it was announced that the ESMA would be a space for memory. "The truth is absolute freedom," he said in a rousing speech that day, three months after it regained its identity. He also thanked those who had accompanied him and spoke of Vanina: "My sister was the first person I went. Today we are brothers more than ever." Vanina
Falco is the daughter of Cabandié appropriates. 14 years ago does not. Before the doubts of John. He walked away from the house by intolerance and violence of Falco. In an unprecedented event, witnessed the case and testified against his father. "The first memory I have of him," John "is with my father coming to him in her arms. It was all the family gathered to receive it," he said at that time. Falco is in jail that does not generate contradictions. Yesterday I was happy. And excited. He remembered the day when John mentioned it in a downtown bar to say he believed was not the son of "them" and he thought maybe it was missing son. At that time, his life as a movie: the violence of his father, his speech, that John was born in 1978, found fake names on a card, the physical differences, the things that Falco was saying ("I know what I ask for mercy is knees, "the once rebuked for a discussion). Tab fell instantly and it was as if the pieces themselves are accommodated. Vanina
Falco and John expect to be investigated for his role in the illegal repression. "We had to say he was a health visitor. He boasted of having done searches and get items like a guitar or disks. He was armed at any time of day. And in the house where I did live there were many memories, plates with coats of arms, "recalled John as declared in the case. Vanina's testimony concurred:" In the '78 World my father was doing special control tasks. Was safe. "He also remembered the guitar with which he played John." You know where I got it? I brought a souvenir of a procedure, "Falco said. And the threats and interrogation that she was suffering." Once, when I was about twelve years, I find your comfortable over a credential with a photo of him and Leonardo's name Fajardo. I ask him who he is and he tells me it was a name he used to do certain tasks, "he said.
In the vicinity of the sentence and the arrest of Falco, Cabandié not think much of his appropriator. Instead, he remembered his parents, Alicia and Damien Cabandié Alfonsin, and former President Nestor Kirchner, who always marked what had been young when they took them.
Alicia and Damien were kidnapped on November 23, 1977 . She was 16 years (turned 17 in captivity) and was seven months pregnant. They were seen in the clandestine center and from Bank there Alicia was taken to the ESMA. "It came almost shaved. That they had in the bank. It was very pretty, with a cherubic face, and a captivating smile, was really a baby pregnancy causing tenderness. It made you want to hug all the time, was like my granddaughter "Sara told Solarz of Osatinsky, ESMA survivor, who accompanied Juan's mother during childbirth. "He was born a man whom he baby (so they said to Alice) was holding long and showed with pride and love. Cabandié baby stayed for a while with his mother, I guess they did not know what to do with him or who sought give it. " John and Alice were together in ESMA for fifteen days. "I think my parents would be happy about this. The hardest thing about all these years was knowing that I will never see," said Cabandié Pagina/12 before leaving court.
