The event occurred last Wednesday but it became important in the last hours, when the autopsy revealed that Nadal’s death had happened by suffocation. Witnesses who were in the area of the incident reported that one of the policemen who arrested the man put a knee to the neck to reduce it and the arrested man complained about not being able to breathe, just like what happened in the United States with George Floyd .
In this sense, the Tucumán Security Minister, Claudio Maley, assured that “The police intervention was correct and timely.”
“The situation began with a robbery in a local. This person (by Walter Nadal) ran away and the people who were in the place alerted the police. Nadal was reduced and then decompensated,” said the official, adding: “The cause of this person’s death will be told by the doctors and the justice system. What the police can do is inform what their procedure was and, from then on, present the evidence.”
