B. for a criminal matter, stemming from a known individual of the lawyer, hailing from the city

On May 24, 2017, Dr. B. had an interview scheduled with Dr. V. M. and
Mr. P. N., who had been developing in the office since shortly before 4 PM
At 4:05 PM, a person dressed as a woman burst into the room with

revolver at the lawyer; he stopped in the middle of the desk and said to him, 'you, come here to'

the astonished look of M. and N., the lawyer immediately stood up and began to

"What happened to you?" "We're going to talk." R. kept pointing the revolver at B.
until he said to him, "kneel and turn around" "kneel or I'll shoot you." When B.
approached the perpetrator at a distance of no more than eighty centimeters, the

R. hurriedly left the place leaving a woman's purse on the desk that

2.- The provisions of article 113 of the C.P.P. were fulfilled by obtaining a statement.

G. R. acknowledged that he visited the law office of Dr. G. B. at the request of a

Regarding the weapon used, he indicated that it was a toy replica, similar to
a .22 caliber revolver, acquired in "a shout", where I had also obtained
the blonde wig. He acknowledged before the Court that he pulled the trigger of the weapon when

R. was already telling his friends L. C. and C. B. that he was a hitman and then after the
event boasted of its Machiavellian activity by sending videos with images of
informative and encrypted messages where he asserted his role as a factotum. In that
the coindicted W. A. R. and C. B. acted in favor of R., since,
knowing the axial participation it had in that incident, immediately
they deleted all the information transmitted in both communications, at the request of

a company truck where he works and it was finally recorded in the
cameras from Terminal Tres Cruces accompanying R. when he was leaving with

3.- The proof of the facts considered in the sub-examination arises from the
actions carried out by the Tactical Information Directorate of the Chief's Office
Montevideo police; photographic and film survey obtained from the cameras
of security of the Unified Command Center and of the building where it took place
the narrated event; forensic medical report; seizure record; transcription of
telephone interventions; statements from G. B., A. I. P., V. M., P. N., H. A., C.
F. V., M. P., L. C. G. and depositions of the accused G. A. R., C. A. B. and W. R.
P. duly ratified with legal assistance.
4.- Given the transfer to the Public Prosecutor's Office, its Representation addressed it solidly.

crime of homicide particularly aggravated in the degree of attempt, in
concurrence outside of the repetition with a crime of Deprivation of liberty, both
in real reiteration with a theft crime. Likewise, he requested the processing and
prison of W. A. R. P. and C. A. B. L. under the accusation of being the author of a crime of
Cover-up.

5.- R.'s defense disagreed with the indictment due to the absence of animus necandi;
What existed was an intention to go and cause a scare through injuries.
the weapon was made of toy material and therefore unsuitable for killing. He did not share the

reproach for the crime of Deprivation of Liberty since the victim in no way
at the moment she was unable to obtain her freedom. Regarding the crime of Theft
he pointed out that in any case it would be an attempted hypothesis. He concluded his presentation

referring that from the existing evidence it could support an accusation for
Especially aggravated injuries.

6.- The Defenders of R. and B. also did not agree with the Prosecutor's request,
arguing that the invoked criminal type requires a more active participation and
deep from which they verified. For the eventuality that is available the
trial, they requested that it be without physical restraint.

CONSIDERING:
1.- At this stage of the process, it is about determining whether sufficient evidence is established.

without this implying prejudging or issuing a definitive conclusion (art. 125 inc.4
literal a and b and article 132 of the CPP). The factual basis necessary for the accusation
the penalty is constituted by the probability of the incriminated fact, which constitutes
a degree immediately prior to the certainty required only for the sentence of

2.- The processing order ratio is a judgment of probability regarding the
commission of an illegal act and the participation of a subject in it. Such
the trial is aimed at establishing the possibility of an object in the criminal process
constituted by a claim that although it has not been fully exercised by the
Public Ministry, it is indeed in a preliminary form, requiring the Judge to submit a
subject to process, with a precarious definition of the elements inherent to any
pretension: subject, object, and cause. The object of the incident is constituted by
strictly by the restraint of the accused and the cause is the simple appearance
delictive behavior that is preliminarily attributed to him, regardless of the
type that serves solely for the verification of the summary cognition, justifying
that attachment. In this way, the quality of is provisionally attributed,

process. (Cfme. Fernando Cardinal Piegas - "Reflections on the function and
utility of the processing order concerning the object of the process, its
transcendence in the principle of ne bis in idem and the closure of the procedure due to

disappearance of the criminal offense that supports it" - Criminal Law Journal No. 20
pp. 445-455.

rational existence of suitable evidence to accuse R. M. prima facie.

forewarned, in compliance with an express agreement, prior to the beginning of the

execution, consisting of the payment of the sum of $ 50000, burst into the room where
the victim was present and fired four shots with a revolver towards the person
from G. B., at a very short distance and aimed at vital area (two toward the chest and
another two to the head), shots that did not go off so he decided to strike
strongly in the head of the victim, to hurriedly leave the place.
vital area to which the shots were directed, the short distance between the agent and
the victim as well as the potential offensive capacity of the weapon used, only serve to
corroborate the homicidal intent clearly revealed in the perpetrator,
purpose that was not fulfilled due to reasons beyond the agent's control.
Since the projectiles were not effectively fired, G. R. did not manage to
materialize the result adjusted to the intention of causing death, so that its
the conduct was parked at the degree of the attempt. There is an attempt when the author with the

due to circumstances beyond their control. The attempt is characterized by the lack of

subsequent action of the agent, this is a teleological connection, since the crimes

Keeping in mind R.'s confession regarding taking the cell phone from the...
receptionist and arranged it in the woman's purse she was carrying with her,
It corresponds to protect the claim raised by the commission of a crime of
Theft, under the cloak of a different criminal design (art. 54 of the Penal Code). Without
the embargo should be ascribed to the degree of attempt given that, as a result of the struggle

between the perpetrator and Dr. B., the wallet remained on the desk without R.
