Grottini faces serious accusations for the deaths that occurred between July 2019 and April 2022. The prosecutor in the case, Baños, in her argument broadcast on the YouTube channel of the Buenos Aires Supreme Court of Justice, stated: “The deaths were not natural.” . Baños, who was also in charge of the investigation of the case, presented evidence that questions the nature of these deaths.
The death of Teresita Di Martino
The investigation began after the death of Teresita Di Martino on April 23, 2022 at the San Felipe Hospital in San Nicolás. Grottini had taken her mother to the hospital, claiming that she was decomposed.
According to the Functional Instruction Unit (UFI) No. 12 of San Nicolás, Di Martino reported feeling dizzy and distressed by the death of another son and her granddaughter. Although her initial tests showed normal results, she was placed on a drip and kept under observation.
Grottini was alone with his mother in box number 3 of the hospital guard, a closed space for a single patient. According to the press release, The patient was stable and had no clinical complications.. However, Grottini alerted the medical staff that the “serum was leaking.”
The nurse on duty confirmed that the line was punctured and observed that Grottini’s clothes were wet. This was the first sign that alerted the staff. An hour and a half later, Grottini reported that his mother was asleep, but in reality, she was dead.
The deaths of Germán and Grottini’s daughter
Germán Grottini, the brother of the accused, died in July 2019 at the age of 32 in a clinic in San Nicolás. He had dizziness, nausea and drowsiness.
The doctor who treated him declared that the condition was mild and the evolution was rapid and favorable. However, after being hospitalized under the care of his brother and his mother, he was found dead.
In July 2021Grottini’s daughter entered the San Felipe Hospital with chest pains. Although the medical studies did not show anything abnormal, she was left under observation with serum.
According to judicial sources, the serum was damaged and shortly after, Grottini warned that his daughter was not well. The girl was transferred to intensive care under the care of her father, but she died.
Internet searches
During his investigation, Grottini spoke about the Google searches he carried out from different devices, including terms such as “what happens if I inject air into the veins”, “what medication can be taken to cause death” and “how long after introducing air does “it produces a heart attack.”
Grottini stated that he carried out these searches to know how to commit suicide, not to kill his family members. At the hearing, he said: “It was to take my life without leaving traces.”
Prosecutor’s Allegation
Prosecutor Baños emphasized Google searches in her statement. She maintained that they were very punctual and related to “air in the veins due to serum.” She argued that Grottini was looking to see if what she had done to her mother would be detected in the autopsy.
The prosecutor highlighted the contradiction between suicide searches and other searches such as zero kilometer cars, cell phones and antioxidant diets, incompatible with a person who wishes to commit suicide.
He concluded that while Grottini was searching for methods to commit suicide, his family died in circumstances compatible with those searches, and he remained alive.
Waiting for the verdict
The Oral Criminal Court (TOC) No. 1 of San Nicolás will announce its verdict next Tuesday. Grottini’s defense requested acquittal, while prosecutor Baños requested a life sentence, stating: “We have broken the presumption of innocence.”
This complex and tragic series of events has left many questions unanswered and has kept public attention waiting for justice.
