"I had after an appointment with your therapist to 17.30 and it was not. We are concerned, "said Gabriela Scopel lawyer last night. He wore a white shirt, trousers and black shoes and a dark sweater. The lawyer added that hospitals in the city, as in the SAME and the Federal Police said they had no trace of him.
Martinez was the only companion of Ponce de Leon when on 11 July 1977, the Bishop suffered the accident that caused his death. He was then 19 years now has 52 - and was doing his military service in the Coast Guard, where he was kidnapped after the accident.
As bishop of the Diocese of San Nicolás, Ponce de Leon had accompanied the workers at Villa Constitución pursued by state terrorism and prayed for several missing. His death shocked the area for its similarity to the bishop of La Rioja, Enrique Angelelli, which had occurred a year earlier.
The murder investigation was reopened after the annulment of the laws of impunity, but met with continuing obstacles in their progress. The main investigation is the former Lieutenant-Colonel Manuel Fernando Saint Amant, head of enforcement in the area, today accused (but free) in many cases of missing persons.
In 2008, U.S. Attorney John Patrick Murray had a strong intersection with the trial judge, Carlos Villafuerte Ruzo when, after learning that the bishop's body had been taken from his tomb in the Cathedral, called a DNA test to certify that the body inside the coffin had not been supplanted, but ran into a judge's order suspending the exhumation.
Martinez said on the record and was indicted for perjury and processed. Thus began a lawsuit against Ruzo Villafuerte. "In late December filed a religious persecution against the judge, in January we made a presentation of impeachment in the Judiciary Council and the March 24, at the ceremony in the Plaza de Mayo, there a group hung a banner with the slogan 'impeachment of Judge Ruzo Villafuerte,' "the lawyer quoted by Scopel.
The habeas corpus was filed "in response to criminal cases that have as a victim, witness, complainant and complainant," which are "eminently processes that investigated human rights violations."
The witness was receiving counseling for post traumatic stress after the reopening of cases in San Nicolas. His family was told that have high blood pressure but controlled with medication, and also often use a cane because of problems in your spine.
On the death threats he received was open an investigation into the federal court Norberto Oyarbide, although the case was closed last year for lack of evidence.
