Overview
- Juzgado Civil Nº 17, under Judge Sandra Nilda Grahl, issued the damages ruling on August 19 and ordered protection of personal and sensitive data.
- The principal aggressor must pay ARS 110,112,276.76 for psychophysical incapacity, medical costs and moral damage, with both defendants jointly liable for an additional ARS 317,800 for lesser injuries.
- The court reconstructed three episodes beginning inside the bar El Copetín, followed by blows on the Diagonal 74 rambla, and culminating on Calle 18 where a punch caused the severe injuries.
- The victim sustained facial fractures requiring surgery, now lives with four titanium plates and 18 screws, and lost the mandibular condylar nerve, resulting in chronic pain and functional limits.
- In related criminal cases, the defendants pursued alternative resolutions that entailed accepting the facts, offered apologies in a hearing, and closed the proceeding with a handshake.
