Judge Dolly Fernández stated tonight that the verdict against the Sena clan for the femicide of Cecilia Strzyzowski represents 'the fed-upness' of Chaco society due to the corrupt ties between the convicted and local politics. 'Unfortunately, this type of crime is something frequent, and in Cecilia's case it was aberrant,' said Fernández, who did not hesitate to affirm that the case 'was the last straw.' She also referred to Emerenciano Sena and his wife, Marcela Acuña, the parents of César Sena, the main suspect in the murder of his ex-wife, perpetrated in June 2023. 'These were public figures (the Senas),' the magistrate noted. Fernández also indicated that 'there were state resources (that were) misused,' which gave a certain impunity to the Senas, and she opined that 'there were many people who collaborated with that.' In an interview with Todo Noticias channel, the judge described the trial as 'a case of notoriety,' and praised the work of the prosecutors and the members of the popular jury, whose twelve members declared six of the seven accused guilty this Saturday. 'They wanted to review some evidence, some videos and some messages, that's all,' the magistrate explained about the recess the jury had requested this Friday, and reiterated the need to maintain the 'secrecy' of the deliberations.
