The conversations between Rosario Porto and Alfonso Basterra, recorded while they were in the cell, offer new details in the Asunta case, which has once again been on everyone’s lips on the occasion of the premiere of the series “The Asunta case: operation Nenúfar.” These conversations shed more light on the complex relationship between the two convicted of the murder of the 12-year-old girl.
The relationship between Rosario Porto and Alfonso Basterra, marked by more than a decade of coexistence and a subsequent separation, is reflected in the messages exchanged after Asunta’s death. In one of them, Alfonso tries to reassure Rosario by informing her about the results of the autopsies carried out by the media. Rosario, for her part, shows her gratitude for the attempt at consolation.
The communications between the two reveal an affectionate tone on the part of Alfonso, who uses names such as “lentejita” and “little fingers” when addressing Rosario, making clear an unexpected intimacy given the circumstances of the case.
The arrest of Rosario Porto and Alfonso Basterra took place in the midst of a tense and emotionally charged atmosphere, and instead, security cameras captured Rosario laughing on the porch of the house where the events occurred, adding more complexity to the case.
During their stay in the dungeons, conversations are recorded that reveal the close relationship between them and the emotional tension they are experiencing. Alfonso Basterra tries to reassure Rosario Porto and promises her that “everything will turn out well,” while Rosario laments the injustice of the situation and blames Alfonso for the consequences: “Your feverish imagination is going to cause us a lot of problems. I was so stupid that all the things that you sent me to make you see reason, to make you see the damage you were doing to me and the other thing, Alfonso, the other thing.”
On the other hand, another of the most enigmatic phrases is when Rosario asks Alfonso about a specific matter: “You didn’t have time for that, did you?”, to which he responds negatively and tries to calm her down. This conversation leaves the door open to many unresolved questions in the case.
In summary, the conversations between Rosario Porto and Alfonso Basterra offer an intriguing look at the dynamics of their relationship and add even more complexity to a case that has kept public opinion in suspense for years.
