Criminal investigations and legal trials reported across South America
Several criminal and legal developments are unfolding across South America. In Paraguay, police are searching for Aldo René Ibarra Cubilla, a 55-year-old suspect known as ‘el encantador de empleadas’. He is accused of over 50 robberies using a modus operandi where he gains entry to homes by posing as a jeweler or acquaintance to deceive domestic workers. One recent theft in Asunción resulted in the loss of Gs. 100 million.
In Argentina, a trial has commenced in Rosario against Agustín López Gagliasso, who is accused of homicide following a vehicle collision that killed Tania Gandolfi and her daughter, Agustina García. Prosecutors are seeking an 18-year prison sentence, alleging the driver acted with ‘dolo eventual’ after losing control of his vehicle at high speeds.
Additionally, a sergeant from the Buenos Aires Provincial Police, Ingrid Liliana Gitzel, has been charged following an incident where a homeless man was mistakenly buried with military honors intended for a Malvinas War veteran. The error occurred due to a misidentification of bodies during the autopsy process.
In Bolivia, a 15-year-old girl has died after contracting HIV, a condition her family attributes to systematic sexual abuse by her maternal uncle, José Luis Renjifo Apura. The family is demanding rigorous investigation and prosecution of the suspect and any accomplices.
