Bauzá "was wrong": before the LUC, controls were already carried out like the one that ended with the arrest of Schiappacasse

Denying with technical elements statements by official actors such as the National Secretary of Sports, Sebastián Bauzá, about the alleged role of the Law of Urgent Consideration (LUC) in the arrest of Nicolás Schiappacasse with a firearm for the fans of Peñarol, the lawyer Andrés Scavarelli explained in M24 that "since before the LUC, this type of control was carried out very often with similar success" and that "in the regulatory aspect, the LUC does not introduce any type of modification".

After the footballer's arrest, Bauzá stated that "what was done yesterday is part of the Law of Urgent Consideration because before that type of records could not be made as was done at the second toll where a car, where there was still no crime nothing, it was possible to check and there was a weapon stored”; “Today we would perhaps be talking about a tragedy inside the stadium if the Police had not acted as they did checking bags and cars; today the Police have that support from the Ministry of the Interior to do so”.

Statements like this are not correct, clarified Scavarelli, who lamented that "as regards whether or not it was possible to carry out the type of operations such as the one that determined the arrest of a person of public notoriety for being a footballer, with the seizure of a firearm fire and ammunition for it, along with other people, has been spoken by some political actors of the ruling party, who attribute this to the LUC as the one that makes it possible and the one that empowers to do this type of thing as if it had not been possible before " .

To compare it with the facts "we can make a summary of situations, which go back at least to 2017 but we can see much further back, of different types of operations in which, linked to not football, mobilizations of the authority were made precisely public in which important seizures were achieved, both of weapons and drugs and other prohibited items; therefore, in this sense, the facts deny that this could have been done thanks to the LUC”, the lawyer pointed out.

Likewise, “from the normative point of view”, he specified later, “that the LUC introduced a modification in the Penal Code is true, but this modification in the facts does not give the Police a greater power to make personnel records or records vehicles; (…) The Police are not given greater power because they already had this before, ”he stressed.

In addition, he pointed out, “due to telephone interceptions, it was already known that this person or these persons had in their possession elements that were illegal, in this case we are talking about a weapon of illegal origin because it had been previously stolen; in this case there is no legal modification either.

“By way of summary”, Andrés Scavarelli concluded, “since before the LUC, this type of control was carried out, very often, with similar success; and as far as the normative aspect is concerned, whether it is a casual finding or the product of a previous investigation, the LUC does not introduce any type of modification; Therefore, those who maintain the opposite, with the greatest respect, are very wrong in affirming that the LUC has given the Police greater powers in this sense because, in fact, the only thing the LUC does is reiterate what It was already in force for many years and in fact, what the security policy on sport does is follow the same path as in previous years”.
