The Public Prosecutor's Office detailed that it made an extensive and detailed account regarding various aspects linked to the facts and the process of clarifying the homicides of Cassandre Bouvier and Houria Moumni. Although it was not officially known what Bouvier presented, it was reported in local media that Cassandre's father thanked for the reactivation of the case, although he was critical of some aspects of the initial investigation. During his testimony, he accused Judge Martín Pérez of several irregularities and maintained that Santos Clemente Vera, who was acquitted in the case, has no relation to the crimes, and even mentioned certain doubts about Gustavo Lasi, who was sentenced to life imprisonment. This declaration is in the context of the case's reactivation by the new prosecutor's office, which for months has been evaluating the case's elements and possible lines of investigation, according to the Argentine News Agency. The Special Fiscal Unit is made up of the criminal prosecutors María Luján Sodero Calvet, Gabriel González, Daniel Espilocín, and Pablo Paz. In this sense, a technical analysis of the material produced in the original case is being carried out, along with the application of new scientific tools and contemporary criminal investigation methods. Buenos Aires, March 10 (NA) – The father of one of the French tourists who were murdered in July 2011 in the province of Salta testified for several hours, and it is expected that this Tuesday Jean-Michel Bouvier will continue his testimony. This approach, as explained by the authorities, allows for a review of the structure of the evidence gathered 15 years ago, verifying the consistency and traceability of the incorporated evidence, and at the same time, expanding the scope of the work lines through updated procedures that were not available at the time of the facts. In this context, the MPF is managing the transfer to France of prosecutors and specialists in molecular biology for the carrying out of various procedures linked to the investigation.
