“I want to apologize”said Máximo Thomsen, the most complicated defendant in the trial for the death of Fernando Báez Sosawhen requesting to give a statement before the court that judges him along with his seven friends for the crime, which occurred in Villa Gesell in the summer of 2020.
“I want to apologize because never in my life would I have thought of killing someone”Thomsen argued in court.
“One of the boys liked the artist who played in the briquethat’s why we went”said the defendant, who also stated that on January 18, 2020, “when it got dark they were already half sucked.”
“I was the first to enter and we went directly to the bar to change the drink that came with the ticket,” he recalled. “We got to the bar and when we got there we were there. I was there drinking with one of the guys and we were meeting a girl, who we were arranging to do a preview with her the next day.”
Thomsen continued his account: “I went down the hall and felt two pineapples hit me in the ribs. I see that one of my friends is about to get into a circle of unknown people, I got in to get a friend out and I felt a pineapple on my face.”
The testimonies that aggravated the situation of Máximo Thomsen in the trial
Juan Pedro Guarino, the rugby player who was initially part of the group accused of Fernando’s death and was later dismissed and dismissed, assured that he did not see the blows that his friends gave the young man, but he did see Máximo Thomsen next to “a boy “Who turned out to be the victim, but clarified that he found out the next day.
“I couldn’t believe it,” he said, to which the plaintiff lawyer Fernando Burlando asked him why: “We had gone on vacation to have a good time, they had already fought before, I had talked to my mother and my girlfriend that if I came back to happen, I was going to come back from the holidays. That’s why I say that I couldn’t believe it”.
“I even felt ashamed, it hurts a lot,” said Guarino, who said that he entered Le Brique, that the club was “very full” and that he saw, at one point, Thomsen and Matías Benicelli, two of the defendants, fight with a boy, and that when he approached, the security of the place took out his friends. Given this, he had to leave on his own so as not to be left alone.
As he recounted, when he left the club, he saw Luciano Pertossi fighting with another boy and then he heard “screams” and they got up and left. “I imagined that they were going to fight again and, from what I look at, I see Thomsen and a boy lying on the floor who later found out who he was,” she said.
The expert witness, María Eugenia Cariac, assured the Court that the mark on Fernando’s face was made with the shoe that Thomsen took off that morning. “The Cyclone brand shoe that had a ‘zigzag’ design,” said the expert who, during her testimony, showed several images of the victim in which traces of the shoe were seen, especially in the lower jaw, in the region left and left lateral region of the neck.
From the beginning, this shoe was the protagonist of various scenarios. The first because it was the footwear with which Thomsen, they were obtained during the trial, accused Pablo Ventura as its owner.
On the other hand, Mariano Vivas, a police officer from Villa Gesell who was in the raid during which he was arrested along with his friends, concluded in front of the Court that “Thomsen was the one who said that the shoe with blood belonged to Pablo Ventura.”
Although, based on statements by Ventura and suppositions, it was believed that Lucas Pertossi had delivered the young man, with the testimony of Mariano Vivas it was established that it was Thomsen, the most complicated defendant in the case.
Christian Gómez, security personnel at the Le Brique bowling alley, assured that Thomsen had an “alienated and crazy face” when he crossed it, after a fight that the rugby player had with Fernando Báez Sosa.
“When I am approaching the kitchen door, it is Thomsen” who has “dilated pupils and it may be the same alcohol that they drink inside, he was totally removed.”
Gómez agreed in the description with the bowling alley’s head of security, Alejandro Muñoz, who said that Thomsen was “very aggressive.”
Such was the case that he needed two security people to throw him out of the bowling alley, despite the fact that they were big doors.
Thomsen was also pointed out as one of Fernando’s attackers by both Lucas Filardi, Juan Bezzuso and Lucas Bebide. The first of them was recorded as the one who gave Fernando Báez Sosa a “paw on the chest” and the last of those three boys who did it with “his right leg”.
Fernando’s three friends were clear that there were several aggressors but who each of them said and identified in their respective testimonies, is Thomsen. Even, when asked by the prosecutor of Juan Manuel Dávila, they said that they had identified him in the lineup when they were all arrested in 2020.
For now, all the rugbiers have the same accusation against them, but when it comes to specifying who agreed to Báez Sosa, most of the testimonies heard point to Thomsen.
