Laudelina Peña testifies in Loan Danilo Peña disappearance trial
Laudelina Peña, the aunt of missing child Loan Danilo Peña, testified before the Federal Oral Court in Corrientes, becoming the first major accused to break the silence in the case. During her emotional testimony, she apologized for previous false statements, claiming they were coerced and orchestrated by her former lawyer, José Fernández Codazzi. She explicitly denied involvement in the alleged traffic accident and the concealment of the child's belongings.
Peña also leveled serious accusations against former Commissioner Walter Maciel regarding his conduct during the initial search for the boy. She testified that Maciel discouraged the family from filing a formal missing person report, claiming they had to wait 24 hours. She further described his behavior as inappropriate, noting that he engaged in casual conversation about football and religious devotion while the family was in crisis. Additionally, she recounted a false radio report that briefly caused panic by claiming the child had been found safe in a shelter.
