The trial for the tragedy of the Altas Cumbres reached its final day of pleadings on Monday at the Villa Dolores Courts, with the defense of Oscar González requesting the acquittal of the former legislator. At the end of the hearing, it was confirmed that the verdict from the court will be known on Tuesday, October 20.
Before the conclusion, Alexa Miranda, Marina Szulewicz, and Vera Szulewicz —the latter two being the daughters of Alejandra Bengoa, the only fatal victim of the crash— had the opportunity to deliver their final words in the trial. Alexa recounted the consequences she has been dealing with since the incident, which occurred on October 29, 2022, near the Niña Paula area, while Bengoa's daughters directed a harsh message to the court.
In closing his argument, lawyer Miguel Ortiz Pellegrini strongly criticized prosecutor Analía Gallaratto and requested that González be found not guilty. He argued that the impact occurred 80% on Bengoa's lane, whom he blamed for an overtaking maneuver he had performed on a truck moments before the collision, asserting that "it was always an accident and solely the victim's fault."
