Fernando Báez Sosa: the group murder that was recorded on video and shook Argentina

Ten Against One: The Ambush That Changed Everything: The Murder of Fernando Báez Sosa

One January morning, an eighteen-year-old buys an ice cream on the street after leaving a nightclub. Minutes later, he is dead. The impossible: ten middle-class attackers coordinate the murder of a stranger without any of them raising a hand to stop it.

In this episode, we explore how a fifteen-second video recorded by one of the attackers becomes irrefutable evidence, how WhatsApp messages document the prior hatred, and why an innocent man was accused while the true culprits coordinated their defense. The case that exposes the cracks in Argentine justice and divides opinions on the sentences.
