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

Claudio Gabriel Barrelier, the primary suspect in the femicide of 14-year-old Agostina Vega in Córdoba, has received a new criminal charge for the possession of child sexual abuse material (CSAM). The charge follows forensic examinations of Barrelier's mobile devices and computer, which were analyzed as part of the ongoing investigation.

Investigators reported finding a photograph of the victim, Agostina Vega, gagged and bound in the suspect's possession, which authorities believe was taken shortly before her death. The digital evidence also revealed extensive searches for explicit content involving minors.

Barrelier, who is currently held in preventive detention at the Cruz del Eje prison, is already facing trial for aggravated homicide, sexual abuse, and gender-based violence. The new investigation, led by Prosecutor Juan Ávila Echenique, is being handled as a separate case. Barrelier is scheduled to undergo an interrogation regarding these new charges on September 29.
