Sister of Murdered Fan Accuses Defense of Using 'Psychosis' Diagnosis

The sister of Ivana Garcilazo, a Rosario Central fan who was murdered in September 2023, has denounced that the defense of Damian Reifenstuel is arguing that the main accused suffers from "psychosis". According to the post that Silvana Garcilazo made on her social media X account, which was accessed by the Argentine News Agency, an audiencia will be held this Tuesday at 12:30 at Sarmiento 2850 to address the motion by Reifenstuel's lawyers. "Since the blind thing didn't work for him, now it seems psychosis appears and that is going to be his defense." The accused had requested an eye exam to delay a preliminary hearing before the oral trial, which is scheduled to begin between April and May 2026. Reifenstuel, Ariel Matias Cabrera, and Juan Jose Masson are being detained with preventive custody for the crime of "aggravated homicide." Garcilazo was murdered on Saturday, September 30, 2023, after the Rosario classic against Newell's, in which "El Canalla" won 1-0. In the vicinity of the Gigante de Arroyito stadium, Ivana was struck in the head by a stone while she was on a motorcycle with her boyfriend wearing a Central jersey. The autopsy revealed that the victim suffered "a severe skull trauma in the right parietal area." "Let's not let them mock Justice," the victim's sister demanded, while stating: "Ivana's family needs to be heard and for us all to support the call for real justice." Silvana expressed her indignation at the lawyers' request: "They embarrass me. I still trust in Justice."
