Morales, drowning in gambling debts, accepted a millionaire bribe from Doña Carmen to sign a false death certificate, alleging that Sofía had been left unrecognizable after a vehicular accident he caused and that the coffin should be sealed for “sanitary reasons”.

But not with Mateo’s carelessness. Not with the intuition and implacable love of a mother.

On the day of the trial, the courtroom was packed. The press covered every detail. Doña Carmen arrived in handcuffs, wearing her designer makeup, looking like the bitter old woman she truly was.

Mateo kept his head down, unable to meet anyone’s gaze. Doctor Morales and Chucho also faced sentences of more than 40 years for aggravated kidnapping, forgery, and criminal association.
