Argentina expands investigation into Agostina Vega femicide

Authorities in Córdoba continue probing the murder of 14‑year‑old Agostina Vega. A judge may lift the secrecy of the case dossier next week, allowing new statements from the victim’s mother, who has been deemed psychologically unfit to testify repeatedly. Three suspects – Claudio Barrelier, Osvaldo Fassetta and Soledad Andreani – remain in custody and face renewed questioning on possible aggravated concealment.

The victim’s father’s lawyer, Guido Torreani, says additional footage of Agostina entering and possibly leaving the house has been identified, though its quality is poor. Unverified reports of multiple DNA profiles under the girl’s nails have surfaced, but neither the autopsy report nor lab results confirm them. Torreani warns that the “chain of responsibility” may extend beyond the three detainees and that further individuals could be implicated. He urges caution against circulating unverified details while the investigation proceeds under sealed‑record rules.

The case has drawn widespread public attention in Argentina, prompting calls for thorough vetting of all involved parties.
