The Ombudsman, Carlos Camargo, said, for his part, that what happened shows that there are members of the Public Force who are not doing their job correctly and therefore changes must be made.
“From the Ombudsman’s Office we demand investigation into the deepest causes, at the same time we urge the National Army to collaborate with the investigation with absolute transparency, “he said.
