A few days after the events, and following his arrest, the suspect was indicted on charges of “involuntary manslaughter by the driver of a land motor vehicle, aggravated by the obvious state of intoxication and the invalidation of the driver’s driving license, unintentional injuries aggravated by the same circumstances, damage, theft with violence and hit and run,” according to what the prosecution had indicated.
