Dársena killings: Musa Azar gets life
José Patricio Lludgar, a butcher, received a sentence of 22 years while 11 other defendants were acquitted of all charges against them.
The court verdict also ordered the paying of a compensation to the tune of 340,000 pesos to the family of Villalba by the province of Santiago del Estero and the three found guilty of their daughter’s murder.
A claim for compensation by the family of Nazar was rejected on the grounds that she was murdered by a private individual, Lludgar.
The case led to the downfall of Carlos Juárez and his wife Marina “Nina” Aragonés de Juárez, who between them had ruled the province of Santiago del Estero for almost 50 years. Their downfall was followed by a period of federal trusteeship when the national government of then president Néstor Kirchner suspended the institutions of the province and ruled it directly through an appointed administrator in preparation for the restoration of the province’s normalization.
