Flu After Wake Up Morning
From OUR CORRESPONDENT IN MEXICO CITY, PATRICE GOUY
"I've never seen a criminal can make believe he's innocent more than six months. After he resigned. Cassez resists over five years and shows us that it has no place here. We all know she is not guilty! ". The commander responsible for the supervision of the prison where Florence Tepepan must serve his sentence of sixty years is not one to take oneself too. But she readily admits the pugnacity of the French.
Confessions under torture
When, in April 2008, Florence was sentenced Break for the removal of four and possession of weapons, the world collapses. The inconsistency, the inconsistency of the case are such that she was convinced to be released at the hearing. But the judge Olga Sanchez, she has encountered only a few times, and still breezed, the condemnation ninety-six years in prison. Twenty years abducted person with a key error: the file referred to three persons kidnapped and not four, as stated in the sentence. For a weapon that police said they found in a van that does not belong to him and she never used, the judge added eight. And eight others for criminal conspiracy.
Problem: The law requires at least three persons to constitute a crime by organized gangs. But the supposed "band" is composed only of Israel Vallarta, a former companion of Florence, one wonders why, has not yet been tried, and Florence Break. The authorities take three years to find the answer: in May 2009, the right arm of Genaro Garcia Luna - current Minister of Public Safety - announces the arrest of one David Oroz-co, who confessed under torture that Florence break was the gang leader of the Zodiac.
"All this, she said, demonstrates that it is a plot that begins with the staging of my arrest. I am arrested Dec. 8, 2005, on the road to Mexico, while I moved furniture stored in the ranch of Israel. The police kept me in solitary confinement in a van until 9 December. In the morning, it takes me to the ranch where I find the people we are supposed to have removed. Half an hour later, I fall on the televisions and film a pseudo-liberation that condemn me in the eyes of millions of Mexicans who make it all for cash.
Procedural defects
In February 2006, Florence, still in custody, is authorized to participate in a television program during which it obliges Genaro Garcia Luna to recognize that the arrest was a reconstruction. This confirms that the neighbors of the ranch. We found the gardener who had the key to the ranch and the cabin where the three hostages, Cristina Rios, his son Christian and Ezequiel Elizalde, were supposed to be detained. However, the gardener told us, as he made to the judge Olga Sanchez, that two days before the false arrest, he had arranged, as usual, the lawn mower in this cabin and there was found no one. This is a go without water or electricity, while the prisoners in their statements said they watch TV all day long.
However, the court requires no further investigation. And no matter that Cassez was not brought before a judge within two hours as required by law, since the file has been installed in all pieces by a public prosecutor very sensitive to the pressures of power. Anyway, it is necessary, in Mexico, more than defects in procedure to cancel a verdict. "My case is not unique," says Florence. None of the prisoners around me has had a fair trial. " In this country, 95% of investigations never lead. However, prisons are full to bursting. The Mexican justice system has a serious problem. Mexicans recognize, but as soon as wrinkle is a stranger who draws this conclusion. That's the problem Cassez. At the slightest criticism, the whole country up to the plate to defend the institutions, if faulty they may be.
More serious still is the collusion that binds the police and Televisa, the largest television group in Latin America, which serves as a sounding board to power. And when Florence Break denounces these practices live on TV, no tenor of the bar, not an intellectual or a parliamentary vote to raise, worrying about his fate and indignant at the flaws that undermine the Mexico ... "There is a trivialization of violations of human rights, torture. Nobody dares to attack the police for fear of reprisals. I never faced Genaro Garcia Luna, all Mexicans have found I had a butt monster attack a man who could make me disappear ", says Florence. Officials fear of displeasing the government, journalists to get back to their chief editor or readers. Some sometimes dare to comment, a column, but do not generally undertake further. Only a handful of investigative journalists - mostly women - as Anabel Hernandez, Lydia Cacho Carmen Aristegui, or the journalists Proceso magazine challenging the power at the peril of their lives, against the tide of extreme nationalism.
Corruption
Florence has matured a lot over the past five years imprisonment. She no longer thought only butterfly party. When she arrives in Mexico, she joins her brother Sebastian. She met Eduardo Margolis, an associate who is interested in the pretty redhead. But soon, the current does not flow between the two men. Sebastian Break complaint against him after death threats. They split after a final reconciliation and fee.
Curiously, the name of Margolis reappears during arrest Florence Break. In his book In the Shadow of my life (ed. Michel Lafon), it mentions that during his arrest, a policeman told him bluntly: "You know Margolis? Well, he'll fuck you!" This trader armored cars in the upscale Polanco also serves as an intermediary for the sale of weapons to the police they will have their entries at Garcia Luna, he knows well. The day of the arrest of the young woman, he is in the premises of the SIEDO, agency fight against organized crime. It is still there the day the police summoned the three kidnap victims, twenty-four hours later, they return to their statements. When we wanted to discuss his involvement in this case, the man snarled, making us understand that it was powerful, he knew very well the Minister of Public Safety. The further investigation of the tribunal on this issue also fails.
The other man Sebastian Break this to his sister is his friend Israel Vallarta. They have an affair, but the relationship breaks down during the summer of 2005 because it is jealous and possessive.
Public Views
"Today, my stomach distress and crying my head thinking about tomorrow," says Florence, bitter but still swinging. She does not know how his story will end, which has gradually slipped from the judicial field in political backwater. After the media hubbub that followed the annulment of the year in France, Mexico, the government of each country confronts its public opinion. In Mexico, the press believes that this matter has been blown up and regrets the diplomatic consequences, but especially newspapers and television continue to load Cassez.
After dismissing the cassation appeal filed by lawyers for the woman, the court has any justification. It took more than ten days to prepare its findings, which take in a record 1 529 pages. The court rejected all arguments of the defense despite the inconsistency of the investigation and inconsistencies in the trial. Not a single point raised by the most eminent jurists of the country has been retained.
The verdict is all the more questionable that the magazine Proceso last week denounced the intervention the Presidency of the republic. The right arm of Felipe Calderon warned the president of the Supreme Court that if the appeal of Florence Break was not dismissed, the Minister of Public Security, Genaro Garcia Luna, would be forced to resign. And it would weaken the struggle waged by the government against the drug cartels.
