The family of Gustavo Basso, a 66-year-old entrepreneur and one of the founding partners of Conexión Ganadera, recently spoke with Florida prosecutor Hermes Antúnez, who is investigating the tragic traffic accident that claimed Basso’s life on November 28, 2024. His widow, Daniela Cabral, one of his daughters, and her husband all provided testimony, shedding light on the circumstances leading up to the incident. According to Antúnez, the family members shared information that will help determine if there were any relevant factors contributing to the accident, allowing the investigation to move forward.
In a statement, Antúnez revealed that the discussions with Basso’s family touched on the victim’s health prior to the accident, which could potentially hold crucial information for the ongoing investigation from a penal perspective. However, the prosecutor refrained from disclosing further details, citing the confidential nature of the testimony. The family’s cooperation has been instrumental in helping investigators piece together the events surrounding the fatal crash.
During the meeting, Antúnez also informed the family about the results of the biological analysis, which confirmed that the remains found inside the Tesla vehicle were indeed those of Gustavo Basso. This breakthrough is significant, as it provides closure for the family and helps the authorities move forward with their investigation. The preliminary report on the accident, which occurred at kilometer 115,500 on Route 5 in Florida, indicated that the vehicle’s estimated speed was at least 100 kilometers per hour. Additionally, the report highlighted that the Tesla had suffered prior impacts before crashing into a roadside machine involved in maintenance work, which likely slowed it down.
As the investigation continues, Antúnez and his team will meticulously examine all the evidence, including the testimonies from Basso’s family and the findings from the biological analysis. The goal is to determine the exact circumstances surrounding the accident and to identify any potential factors that may have contributed to the tragic outcome. With the family’s cooperation and the progress made so far, the authorities are one step closer to uncovering the truth behind the accident that claimed Gustavo Basso’s life.
The accident has sent shockwaves through the community, and the family’s testimony is a crucial step in the investigation. As more information becomes available! the public will be kept informed about the progress of the case. For now, the focus remains on supporting the family and ensuring that justice is served.
