Lawyer of Main Defendant in Cecilia Strzyzowski Case Resigns Citing Irreconcilable Differences

The lawyer of Cesar Seinemain defendant and detainee in the case Cecilia Strzyzowski, waived his defense by alleging “irreconcilable differences“after the incorporation of new evidence into the investigation into the disappearance of the young woman from Chaco who has been wanted since June 1 in Resistencia. The decision also includes the couple charged by the courts as co-perpetrators of the possible femicide.

“It is a criminal act and there are limits”Juan Díaz, the lawyer for César Sena, 19, who was identified as the main suspect in the disappearance of his ex-partner Cecilia Strzyzowski, 28, told the local press. The lawyer also resigned from the legal representation of Fabiana González, Sena marriage assistant, and her partner Gustavo Obregón, three of the seven detainees in the case.

The reasons for the resignation of César Sena’s lawyer

“Today evidence was added to the file that prevents me from continuing to exercise my service for irreconcilable differences with the people I represent. I have my criteria, a professional ethic, for which I am going to resign. My defense would not be effective. The evidence is extremely confidential,” the lawyer said in statements to Radio Natagala from Chaco.

In addition, although he highlighted the confidentiality of the evidence incorporated into the file, Díaz slipped that one of the reasons for his resignation is that it is “a criminal act”, something of which “he is convinced”. This situation differs from other branches of the legal system in which the lawyer represented the Sena family in the past, such as in the defense of their political rights.

“I always accompanied the Sena family for their political rights, but this already escapes politics, it is a criminal act and there are limits. A political prisoner is one thing and a common prisoner is another thing,” he pointed out. Finally, he stressed that the Sena couple “lost the quality of leaders and their moral capacity.”

The progress of the investigation

Díaz’s statements were made within the framework of the progress in the investigation that included new raids this Wednesday in a field near the Sena property. This occurred after the statement of the landlord Liked Malgarejoone of the seven arrested for the case of Cecilia, which complicated the situation of the accused.

The man testified last night before the Special Prosecutor Team (EFE), made up of prosecutors Jorge Gómez, Jorge Cáceres Olivera and Nelia Velázquez, in a grueling four-hour day of inquiries that remained under absolute secrecy in line with the media coverage of the case.

Those who refrained from testifying were the parents of César, the social leader Emerenciano Seine (58) and his wife Marcela Acuna. This coincided with the decision of the prosecutors to accuse the pre-candidates for provincial deputy and mayor of Resistencia, respectively, as co-authors of the crime of “homicide aggravated by the premeditated concurrence of two or more people“.

Among other evidence incorporated into the file are the expert reports to the hijacked vehiclesas indicated by the Chaco Public Prosecutor’s Office in a statement. Also the samples of bone remains and blood traces found during the raids on the properties of the Sena on Sunday, material that will be analyzed by the Institute of Medicine and Forensic Sciences

For its part, the Human Rights and Gender Secretariat on behalf of the victim’s family joined the case as a complainant.

Sena, meanwhile, could face a life sentence.
