"Do you know why I made the salt cross? Because I had the hygienic visit and if it rains, it's canceled. After seven months, that day we had made up our minds", she said on air.
Majo Favarón revealed unprecedented details about Aníbal Lotocki's private life in prison
"Do you know why I made the salt cross? Because I had the hygienic visit and if it rains, it's canceled. After seven months, that day we had made up our minds", she said on air.
Favarón recounted that her first attempt ended in frustration. "It was a Tuesday. I got up at three thirty in the morning, I put oil on, I put on perfume, I waxed. I had an imaginary idea of how it was going to be. I traveled for three and a half hours and it was the day it rained the most in Buenos Aires, when the cars were floating on the Panamericana", she recalled. When she arrived at the prison, she was informed that the visit was canceled.
Far from giving up, she explained that for the next attempt she asked friends from Corrientes for help to repeat the ritual and "ensure" good weather. "I looked at the forecast and it was going to rain again. I told them: "Please, tell me what I should do because tomorrow it must not rain"", she recounted, to the host's surprise.
When she was asked what the first actual encounter was like, Favarón clarified that it took place in an unexpected context. "My first encounter with Aníbal inside the prison was in the hospital. I didn't see him for ten days when he was arrested. He was there as a place of protection and everyone told me it was the best place where he could be. When I found out, I thought: "If this is the best place, what would the worst be?""
The legal case over the death of Silvina Luna once again took center stage after the justice system ordered an expansion of the medical expert report to determine whether there were failures in the model's postoperative care following the procedures performed by Aníbal Lotocki. In that context, the one who decided to break the silence was Majo Favarón, the doctor's partner, who provided unprecedented details about her husband's life in prison.
Favarón took part in the show La mañana con Moria (eltrece), hosted by Moria Casán, where she not only publicly defended Lotocki, but also sought to counter recent statements by Fernando Burlando, the legal representative of Silvina Luna's family.
During the interview, the host was direct and asked her what her visits to the prison were like and whether she had any kind of ritual before seeing him. It was then that Favarón surprised everyone by recounting the strict conditions surrounding the intimate encounters —which she called "hygienic visits"— and the particular practice she adopted to prevent them from being canceled.
As she explained, in the prison where Lotocki is being held, visits are automatically canceled when it rains, since the unit floods. Faced with that situation, the doctor's wife turned to a popular ritual known as "the salt cross", which consists of drawing a cross with coarse salt and sticking a knife in the center as a charm to ward off bad weather.
