Agostina Vega femicide: new testimony, family march in Córdoba

A 14‑year‑old girl, Agostina Vega, was found dead in Córdoba, Argentina, sparking a high‑profile femicide investigation. Claudio Barrelier is the primary suspect for the murder, while Osvaldo Fassetta and Soledad Andreani face charges of aggravated concealment for allegedly helping hide the crime.

On 19 June 2026, prosecutor Raúl Garzón summoned Soledad Andreani for an indagatoria. Andreani denied the accusations but chose not to testify. Earlier, Fassetta also abstained from answering questions and was returned to the Bouwer prison. The prosecutor lifted the secrecy of the case file, allowing parties to review the dossier.

The victim’s family organized marches in Córdoba’s central area, demanding further arrests and urging that “all who must fall” be brought to justice. Grandparents Miguel Heredia and Elizabeth Fernández expressed confidence in Garzón’s work, stating, “We will keep marching.” They also called for the case to stay out of political manipulation. The ongoing proceedings continue to draw public attention and pressure on the judicial system.
