However, not only the allegedly involved police officers said they did not remember going to the country, but a report delivered in the last few hours by the Buenos Aires Ministry of Security revealed that there are no 911 calls with the characteristics indicated on the night of June 26 last year, the sources consulted say.
However, investigators noted that the 911 report may not be conclusive from the call it may have been done by a neighbor directly to the police station without going through the 911 emergency telephone.
The first of the policemen who testified yesterday is the non-commissioned officer Enrique Rubén Álvarez (59), who works in the patrol command of Esteban Echeverría and, according to the testimony to which the Télam agency has access, only said that at that moment he covered “the grid 15” but that it was not common to enter the villages and they did so only in the “Jewish circle” and “go to the bathroom”.
When asked specifically if he remembered going to the Venado II neighborhood and if he did it between the night of June 26 and the early morning of June 27, 2021, he replied: “Maybe yes, maybe not, I don’t remember”.

The second police officer to testify was Luis Guillermo Alfonzo (51), who was Álvarez’s companion until August 2021 in the same patrol command, and when he was asked if he had gone to Venado II that morning to a 911, replied: “It could be but I don’t remember why, it could have been.
But when asked if he remembered going to a country club because of a situation with someone he knew, he replied that “No“And when Villa’s defense asked him if he remembered if he had been summoned for a lawsuit with a public figure, he replied: “Yes, I would remember.”
The key testimony
Prosecutor González awaits today, however, the declaration of the specialist in gynecology of the Penna hospital, nicknamed Santa Cruz, who assisted the 26-year-old girl referred to Villa.
In a statement released last week, Legrand said not remembering the victim for taking care of 35 women a daywhile acknowledging that the certificate of assistance had been signed by her and her colleague and indicated that the studies carried out were normal.
The complaint against Villa was filed in writing on the 13th of this month at Esteban Echeverría’s UFI 3, and three days later the complainant ratified it in person at the prosecutor’s office.
The victim said that the event took place on the night of June 26, 2021 in the “Venado II” village of the city of Canning, in Buenos Aires, where the footballer lived, and after a barbecue attended by other players from the football team. xeneize.
According to the complaint, Villa had consumed “a lot of alcohol” and began berating him for suspecting he liked them or had been with other players on campus.
She said that after a heated argument, Villa locked her in a room, sexually abused her and tried to suffocate her.
The young woman presented as evidence some exchanges of messages in which Villa apologized for the incident and justified himself by saying that he had “drunk a lot” and also complained that the player sent him 5,000 dollars so that he would not file any complaint, a sum which he then returned.
The judge of Lomas de Zamora’s Guarantees 2, Javier Maffucci Moore, issued a precautionary measure that provides for a perimeter constraint and the prohibition of contact between Villa and the victim, but has rejected the request to ban the player from leaving the country, since the same had been adopted in the previous case for gender-based violence against her former partner last year and is still in effect.
The player has already been notified of the accusation against him, although at the moment he has not been called to issue an investigative statement.
The prosecutor asked that Villa be subjected to a psychiatric examination which will take place next Thursday at 10:30 in Larroque at 23:00, in the offices of the Public Prosecutor’s Office in Lomas de Zamora.
