After the hit-and-run, Buzali was detained and spent two years in prison until his lawyer Marcelo Peña achieved his release. Today, the closing arguments in the oral trial against Juan Ignacio Buzali, the ex-husband of Carolina Píparo, for the attempted homicide of two motorcyclists he ran over, mistaking them for criminals, are taking place in La Plata, thus the trial is nearing its end. This Tuesday, after 10:00, it is expected that the prosecutor's office and the plaintiff will deliver their arguments at the Criminal Oral Court No. I of La Plata. The day will begin with the reading of the prosecutor Juan Pablo Caniggia's accusation, followed by lawyer Martín De Vargas. Sources in the case have told the Argentine News Agency that the plaintiff will request 8 years in prison, considering the aggravating factors and the defenselessness of the victims. The incident for which Píparo's ex-husband went to trial occurred on the morning of January 1, 2021, when the current director of the National Bank reported being the victim of a robbery on 47th Street between 15 and 16, as they were getting out of the vehicle to drop off his father at his home. In his testimony, he highlighted that he and Buzali were approached by several motorcycles with armed occupants who stole his purse. After the robbery, and at the moment they were heading to file a complaint, the couple believed they recognized the alleged thieves and followed them in a black Fiat 500L car with a white roof. "At the intersection of 21 and 40, Buzali rammed from behind a motorcycle in which Luis Lavalle and a 17-year-old teenager were riding, who were injured after falling to the pavement," the indictment states. The investigation confirmed that the two occupants of the motorcycle, one of them a minor, had no connection to the criminal event.
