Investigation Fiscal Unit (UFI) (N° 10) in this case


Explanation:
http://72.14.253.104/search?q=cache:Om3TlSISX6wJ:www.cels.or...


IV.2.2. The crimes committed during the case investigation
During the oral trial debate, different irregularities that happened throughout the investigation of José Luis Cabezas’ crime also came to light. The Penal Court of Appeals and Warranties of Dolores made some of the denounces about the offenses related to the abetment (as well as the new elements that appeared in the trial about the responsibilities in the murder), taking into
account the elements derived from the oral debate. ARGRA and CELS, on the other hand, presented other denounces. All of them were sent to the Investigation Fiscal Unit (UFI) N° 1 of Dolores Department in February 2000.

One possibility. HTH!

On second thoughts, please disregard the first reference - I questioned why a Fiscal Unit would be involved in this sort of case.

See new possibililty:

UFI = Unidad Funcional Investigativa Nº x = FUNCTIONAL INVESTIGATIVE UNIT NO. x

Hace poco más de un año, el matrimonio Groba jamás hubiera pensado que San Nicolás sería un destino que visitarían religiosamente una vez al mes. Mucho menos, que pasarían la mayor parte de su estadía nicoleña en la sede de Tribunales que funciona en Guardias Nacionales y Colón. Pero así se precipitaron las circunstancias desde aquella imborrable madrugada del 15 de enero de 2006 en que ardió el hotel “El Acuerdo”, y que costara la vida de su hija María Laura, de 22 años. Desde entonces, los Groba siguen de cerca los avances mensuales de la Fiscalía Nº 4, que trabaja en la investigación del caso. Así se precipitaron las circunstancias. Y los Groba las aceptan, pero también quieren saber quién o quiénes son los responsables legales de la catástrofe. “El que se equivocó y permitió que la cosa termine como terminó, tiene que pagar. Es lo propio de una sociedad civilizada”, comentó ayer a EL NORTE Horacio Groba, padre de María Laura, quien ayer visitó -acompañado de su esposa Cristina- la Unidad Funcional Investigativa Nº 4, tal como lo vienen haciendo desde hace un año, a intervalos de 30 días.
