A Santiago judge, Miguel Alejandro Báez, has imposed a one year in preventive custody for Anyery Manuel Valdez Torres (Jonathan), accused of assault against the daughter of the owner of Transporte Espinal, Freddy Espinal. Valdez Torres will serve the sentence in Rafey jail in Santiago.
Santiago Peralta, lawyer of the accused, has said that there is no evidence against his client. The authorities, nevertheless, say a video exists that allegedly incriminates Valdez Torres. The defense says that all the authorities have on Valdez Torres are his fingerprints that were found inside the victim’s apartment. The defense said noted that it is not surprising that his client’s fingerprints would be in the apartment, given that he had been contracted to paint the dwelling.
