Claudio Barrelier charged with child abuse material possession in Agostina Vega case

Claudio Barrelier, the primary suspect in the femicide of 14-year-old Agostina Vega, faces new criminal charges following forensic analysis of his electronic devices. Investigators discovered a photograph on his phone depicting the victim gagged and bound, which has been used to elevate the case to trial.

In addition to the existing charges of aggravated homicide and sexual abuse, Barrelier has been formally charged with the possession of child sexual abuse material. This new indictment follows the detection of explicit content during a forensic examination of his mobile phone and computer.

Barrelier remains in preventive detention at the Cruz del Eje prison. He is scheduled to undergo interrogation regarding these new charges on September 29. The investigation also continues to look into the potential involvement of five other individuals charged with aggravated concealment in connection with the case.
