Guillermo Besozzi’s lawyers are firing back with an appeal. They claim the former mayor of Soriano was charged with corruption in a rigged process.
The lawyers point to Prosecutor Stella Alciaturi and the judge who approved Besozzi’s house arrest.
They say the whole thing was unfair and Besozzi didn’t get a fair shake.
“No corruption can be claimed while corrupting due process,” the lawyers say.
Besozzi was charged with a bunch of crimes, including embezzlement and abuse of power.
His lawyers think the charges should be dropped because the investigation was messed up.
The lawyers say they only had 9 hours to look at the case files before the hearing.
That’s not enough time, they claim.
The prosecutor had been investigating since 2021 and had a lot more time to prepare.
The lawyers are also mad about how the hearing went down.
They say the prosecutor read a 110-page statement and they didn’t have time to respond.
The judge then made a decision without really listening to their side, they claim.
The lawyers think this is a big deal and sets a bad precedent.
They’re asking the court to throw out the charges and start over.

What’s at stake
This case is important because it sets a precedent for how investigations and hearings are handled.
