"If they decide to hold a truth trial, we want to know what the rules will be and how it will be conducted, especially by the prosecuting body. If the Public Prosecutor's Office oversteps and asks me for measures as if it were a regular trial, I will file a claim for damages," said Bárzola's defense attorney.
"The truth trial is to find out the truth, not to impose a penalty or punishment on whoever may or may not have been the perpetrator. There is harm caused by the persecution of my client, they are trying to convict him socially and with the prospect of obtaining a punishment, when the penalty is time-barred," he concluded.
