How Tarek William Saab Used Canserbero to Favor His Image
The degree of sadism of "justice" according to Tarek William Saab reaches this point: they accuse you of murdering a famous rapper, and on the day of your first formal court hearing, they lock you up for hours in a headquarters of the National Anti-Extortion and Kidnapping Command, leave you handcuffed, and force you to listen, one after another, to songs by the man whose death they impute to you.
TL;DR
- Natalia and Guillermo Améstica were convicted in February 2024 for the murder of rapper Canserbero (Tirone José González).
- Bárbara Améstica, sister of the accused, claims their rights were violated, including lack of access to the case file and coerced confessions.
- Prosecutor General Tarek William Saab is accused of exploiting the case for personal image enhancement and prestige.
- The original investigation in 2015 suggested Canserbero killed musician Carlos Molnar (Natalia Améstica's husband) and then committed suicide.
- Saab reopened the investigation, publicly accusing the Améstica siblings and presenting their alleged confessions as evidence.
- The confessions, allegedly obtained under duress and torture, were broadcast publicly before being formally entered as evidence.
- Lawyers for the Amésticas were allegedly threatened, and Bárbara Améstica had to flee the country.
- The article suggests the case was 'constructed' and that the accused were denied a fair trial and the right to defense.
- Bárbara Améstica seeks a new trial where her siblings can present their defense and have due process guarantees.
