Vargas nodded. “Technically, you are right. Besides, the public benefit of your action is clear. We will open a case and the arrest. As soon as your husband sets foot in the country, we will arrest him. We have sufficient grounds.”
Emily signed the complaint and gave a detailed statement. The process took 3 hours.

They discussed the strategy for the case. Roth was optimistic. With such evidence, the outcome was practically guaranteed.
At 3:00 in the afternoon, Emily met with the representatives of the victim families. Max Morales came with his mother, an elderly woman who could barely hold back her tears.
