Rugby players

The Buenos Aires Cassation Defense Office has asked the Supreme Court to annul the 15-year sentence given to Lucas Pertossi, one of the rugby players convicted in the 2020 murder of Fernando Báez Sosa in Villa Gesell. The request claims a conflict of interest in his defense and a violation of the right to effective legal assistance. The victim's family lawyer, Fernando Burlando, denied any nullity request and stated that only previously rejected complaints are being processed.
