Tatiana Marset Alba, sister of alleged Uruguayan drug trafficker Sebastián Marset, is one step closer to leaving the Palmasola prison. Her legal team has successfully presented the guarantors required by the court to implement her house arrest, a measure granted on July 21.
We have presented guarantors, and now we are awaiting the evaluations of the documentation that has been presented.
Her lawyer, Mónica Terrazas, stated that administrative procedures are currently underway, and they await the necessary certification to request the release order. Terrazas mentioned that migration authorities had raised some observations, but these have since been addressed. The defense is now waiting for the certification to proceed with the release mandate.
Securing guarantors had been a significant hurdle for Marset's release due to the judicial requirements. Terrazas confirmed that the guarantors have been presented and are awaiting evaluation by the authorities. The specified residence for her house arrest has also been verified, with the court satisfied regarding her ties to family, work, and a lawful activity.
We have already corrected them and are waiting for them to issue the necessary certification to request the release order.
Upon her release, Marset will be subject to 24-hour police surveillance to ensure compliance with judicial restrictions. Her lawyer emphasized the defense's commitment to adhering to all stipulations. While an exact release date remains uncertain due to ongoing administrative processes, Terrazas indicated the procedure is in its final stages. Marset also intends to begin university studies in Santa Cruz.
Of course, we will leave here with our heads held high when we finish this process.
