The Argentine footballer Rodrigo Garrowho plays for Corinthians in Brazil, was charged this Sunday with manslaughter after drunk crash into a motorcyclist who died. The prosecution requested that he be prohibited from driving vehicles, although will be able to leave the country.
The General Pico Justice formalized the accusation for reckless driving of a motor vehicle, with the former Talleres de Córdoba in the courtroom of the Pampas city.
Prosecutor Francisco Cuenca explained that the crime was classified that way because the most aggravated classification is when the breathalyzer test gives a result of 1 gram per liter. The prosecutor reported that the judge granted the request and the athlete’s defense did not object, reported the site La Arena.
In statements to said media, Cuenca explained that Garro has not been prohibited from leaving Argentina: “We consider that, in principle, there are no procedural dangers. The person complied with the law, therefore no measure was requested. of coercion. There was no reason to request it either.
For his part, David Diván, Garro’s defense lawyer, said in this regard: “There was the possibility of requesting a restriction measure to leave the country, but Rodrigo was available from the moment of the crash.”
And he added: “When he realizes this, he manages to stop the truck a few meters ahead, he runs out towards the victim and begins to ask for help. He was available from the first moment and did not try to flee.”
Regarding the investigation of the incident that ended the life of Nicolás Chiaraviglio, 30, who was driving a Guerreri Trio 110 motorcycle, the prosecutor indicated that they will try to determine if Garro was driving while intoxicated.
Likewise, he revealed that a helmet was not found at the scene of the accident, so it is presumed that the victim was not wearing one at the time of the accident.
“That will also emerge from the cameras,” he pointed out.
Finally, he said that the speeds at which the truck and the motorcycle were traveling could not yet be determined, and expressed that this data could be known through a report that will be carried out soon.
Given the non-prohibition of leaving the country, the footballer of the São Paulo team would travel this Monday to São Paulo to rejoin the team led by Argentine Ramón Díaz, ahead of the resumption of official competition in Brazil.
