The following morning, on the outskirts of the city, the body of Sergio Burgos was found, which presented multiple stab wounds.

The judicial process ended with a temporary dismissal of the case, despite the multiple pieces of evidence regarding the participation of specific individuals as perpetrators of the crime.

Considering the background information gathered by this Corporation, the Superior Council concluded that the death of Sergio Arnoldo Burgos Mautz was due to an abuse of power committed by an agent of the State, who acted for personal motives, with the authorities condoning the act and ensuring his impunity. Therefore, he was declared a victim of human rights violations.
