Almost nine months it has taken the Provincial Court of Ourense to make the decision to file the case against two twin brothers, national police officers, who had been under the scrutiny of Judge Eva Armesto for about seven years as alleged perpetrators of the death of a friend. and partner at the Galician city police station. In her order from the beginning of last May, of 158 pages, the magistrate of the Court of Instruction 3 of Ourense listed 26 “unequivocal indications” by which she considered that the brothers R. and BDL should sit on the dock to answer for the death of agent Celso Blanco, initially investigated as suicide. Now, the Court considers the appeals filed by both the brothers and the Public Prosecutor's Office against this order that agreed to transform the investigations into a jury procedure and revokes the judge's resolution. With this, she dictates the provisional dismissal and the archiving of the procedure in a final resolution against which there is no appeal.
The judges of the Court reject Armesto's arguments and affirm that “a single piece of evidence supports the attribution of the death” of the agent “as the result of a violent activity carried out by a third party”, specifically “the final position in which the slide of the weapon used, in an open situation.” For the Court, this is “a certainly controversial indication as different expert opinions converge on it.” The order states that “even admitting that the death could be due to the violent action of a third party,” they do not find “a body of evidence with the necessary sufficiency to identify the brothers under investigation as this third person.”
Regarding the suspicion that these two police officers were involved in the theft of weapons from the police station and that, due to the fear that Celso Blanco would regret it and decide to speak out, they would end his life, the Court of Ourense now responds that “it is not known.” They have presented no evidence of any kind regarding the participation” of the twins in that robbery. “The knowledge that they may have of this fact cannot be identified with its authorship,” the magistrates maintain against the criteria of the judge who has had the brothers in her sights for seven years. For the Court, there is also no evidence of the alleged motive for the crime, “since there is no indication that they were afraid of an incriminating statement by the victim in the theft of the weapons and the preparation of the anonymous letters that would extend responsibility” to them. The Court concludes that “there is no evidence presented with the necessary sufficiency for the imputation of the alleged violent death” to the brothers under investigation.
