They present a new lawsuit for defamation and insult
This new criminal action arises after Martínez, taking advantage of the situation of the recent blackout caused by the collapse of the National Interconnected Electrical System (SENI), spread videos on digital platforms categorically stating that “the blackout was the product of an operation by the Haitian Gilbert Bigio”, accusing him of terrorism and sabotage of national security, without presenting a single piece of evidence to support such charges.
The second complaint qualified Martinez’s conduct as an act of manifest recklessness and procedural bad faith. According to the filed document, the defendant attended conciliation hearings on October 16th and November 6th, simulating an intention to reach an agreement. However, he used that time to intensify his discrediting campaign, falsely claiming that the plaintiffs seek his physical elimination: “they want my body either in a jail or dead” and that they would have to take him out of the country in “pieces”. This conduct of recidivism and criminal reiteration aggravates his procedural situation and increases the risk that the Public Prosecutor’s Office will request coercive measures consisting of preventive detention to prevent the continuation of the crime. If this request is accepted, Ángel Martínez could spend the Christmas holidays in detention.
