The hearings of the evidence stage in the trial for the group rape that occurred in February 2022 in the vicinity of Plaza Serrano in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Palermo will conclude with the investigative statement of one of the defendants most involved in the case, while on Friday The pleadings stage will begin, judicial sources reported. The last hearing of the debate is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday before the Oral Criminal Court (TOC) 14, in the judicial building at 1171 Lavalle Street, in downtown Buenos Aires. According to sources, Ángel Pascual Ramos (24) - of the six accused, the most complicated by the DNA tests and the videos - will give his version of the events and will testify before judges Gabriel Vega, Gustavo Valle and Domingo Altieri. Ramos had already said some words on the first day of the trial, on August 28, when, without answering questions, he told the members of TOC 5 that he did not previously know the other five co-defendants, that he did not abuse the young woman and that “there was no plan to abuse anyone.” He is the most involved defendant in the case, since the videos identify him as the first to abuse the complainant in the front seat of the car, and his genetic profile was identified not only in the seminal fluid found in the underwear and in the swabs performed on the victim, but also under the girl's nails, which for the prosecution indicates that she resisted the sexual act and even scratched him.
