Overview

  • The TSXG ruled Alejandro Míguez’s 10-year sentence lacked evidentiary support, citing no direct proof of his involvement in the attack on Samuel Luiz.
  • The court upheld sentences for Diego Montaña (24 years), Kaio Amaral (20½ years), and Alejandro Freire (20 years) for their roles in the mob killing.
  • Montaña’s sentence includes a hate-crime aggravation due to his targeting of Luiz based on perceived homosexuality.
  • Amaral was also convicted of robbery with violence for stealing Luiz’s mobile phone during the assault.
  • This appellate decision concludes the regional judicial review of the case, with no further appeals pending at this level.
