They arrested the three patovicas accused of beating a man and his son in Necochea

Guarantee Court No. 1 requested the arrest of the three patovicas involved in the brutal beating in Necochea after confirming their identities through security camera images.

They are César Jorge Martínez, Alan Nahuel Pirrota and Gonzalo José Roldán, accused of “minor injuries qualified by the premeditated contest of 2 or more people.”

As confirmed by Sergio Farella in TN Central (TN), the three former employees of the dance venue will be investigated this Tuesday and could be detained until Friday.

The videos recorded by the Tom Jones Bar security cameras were key to reconstructing in greater detail what happened at dawn on Sunday.

In parallel, the bowling alley was temporarily closed by the Municipality, which aims to clarify the fact. In addition, the three patovicas were fired from the premises, whose authorities released a statement in which they expressed their apologies for the unfortunate event.

The patovicas had been denounced for homophobic violence

The Necochea bowling alley was also the protagonist of a serious act of violence in which a group of patovicas brutally attacked a father and his son. The same bar in the coastal town had had an equally serious episode in 2018, which ended with a complaint at INADI.

This is Tom Jones Bar, a dance venue where five years ago a young man reported having been thrown out of the place for his sexual orientation. On that occasion, the bar rejected the complaints, calling them false and saying that they were “intended to affect the repute and good faith of the company.”

Marcelo Mangini, who was 33 years old at the time, had traveled with friends to Necochea for a long weekend. One of those nights they decided to go out dancing at the Tom Jones Bar and during the night the young man kissed another man. It was at that moment that the intimidation began.

According to the victim’s account, the owner of the establishment appeared at the scene and warned the two men to stop kissing because “there were families.” The young people left, returned and again kissed.

Faced with this situation, the patovicas went to intimidate them. “They had been following us since the meeting with the owner, it was like a personal brand. ‘We are employees, we follow orders, there are clients who are bothered by it,’ ”he had recounted in an interview with TN.
