Lucía Topolansky, the former vice president, spoke out on Thursday to the Prosecution Office. She faced questions about her claims that some left-wing witnesses lied under oath. This was to convict retired military officials of crimes committed during the dictatorship.
The prosecutor, Ricardo Perciballe, said Topolansky didn’t provide any specific names or useful information for the investigation. This was according to Javier Benech, the director of communications.
The hearing lasted two hours. Besides Perciballe, the defense team was also present. Topolansky made these claims in the book “Los Indomables” by Pablo Cohen. She said there are people who lie in their statements. A friend of hers was asked to lie, but he refused.
When Cohen asked her about this, Topolansky said they know who the liars are. But they won’t say, because they don’t want to be traitors. The case is ongoing, with the Prosecution Office investigating the claims.
