the bald guy who was out of control [...]"16 She also declared that she had seen "how they were lifting a stretcher into an ambulance with the bald guy shaking as if he had had epileptic fit."17 30. The Commission observes that in an addition to her statement on April 8, 1996, Analía Masello stated that "she wishes to correct her previous statement which states that she had seen the now dead man being aggressive and that that was not the case [...]."18 31. In his testimony given on April 6, 1996, police officer Blas Luis Bogado stated that two young ladies had arrived at Police Station No. 5, had identified themselves as friends of the Brazilians, and has stated that "it was the bald guy [...] who had [mol? illegible]ested them in various ways on the way out of the dance club."19 32. In his testimony given on April 5, 1996, Fernando Alberto Ibarra, a doorman at the MALUCO BELEZA" club said that in the early hours of that day he had denied entry into the club to a "dark-skinned, bald male [...] who was already acting aggressively and insisting on entering the premises [...]."20 When giving his statement, asked "whether the "bald" man had been beaten while being arrested and/or being [illegible] into the patrol car, HE REPLIED: that at no point had he seen any mistreatment [illegible] despite the resistance he was putting up resistance to being placed in the car [...]."21 In the statement he gave on April 9, 2018, that same Fernando Alberto Ibarra said that " that person was drunk, [...], stumbling, and uncoordinated in his movements [...], that at least with the declarant and the other members at the table in the bar they went to when the club closed, the aforementioned individual had not been aggressive."22 33. In his statement given on April 5, 1996, Wagner Gonçalves Da Luz also stated that "the bald guy", whom he did not know, had approached him and moments later some police had arrived in patrol cars and had him put his hands on one of them to search him, "while they took the bald guy to the sidewalk and placed him against the wall." They then arrested them and took them to Police Station No. 5, where he could see nothing because from his cell there was no view of other units in the Police States; nor had he heard anything unusual."23 In a statement made on April 11, 1996, he said that "while I was changing a vehicle tire, Acosta appeared and judging by the way he spoke and stumbled while he walked was drunk, but he was not incoherent."24 34. The statement by Wagner Gonçalves Da Luz concurs with the accounts given by his brother, Romina, and Analía regarding the facts of the detention and transfer to Police Station No. 5. He told how "he was with talking his brother in the cell and heard shouting, but could not make out what was going on. There here in the police station he did not see the third person arrested again and did not know who it was who had been shouting."25 In a statement given on April 11, 1996, Marcelo Da Luz stated: "that inside the Police Station [...] the three had been standing in a corridor. [...] they took the bald guy to a place that the dissident individual (el disidente) and his brother went by [...] while his brother and the declarant were taken to a kind of room with bars that the policemen did not lock."26 35. Worth noting, in particular, is the statement by Sergeant Domingo Alberto Oliva: [...] so, when the police car drew up, two males appeared to be together as if they were embracing. So together with the driver we proceed to separate them, taking the necessary Appendix 4. Statement by Analía Masello on April 5, 1996. Attached to the initial petition. Appendix 4.
