Loan Danilo Peña trial: Judge Ceroleni resigns as proceedings continue in Corrientes
The oral trial regarding the disappearance of Loan Danilo Peña in Corrientes, Argentina, has reached a critical phase marked by significant judicial changes and key testimonies. The trial is currently undergoing a scheduled pause from September 28 to October 2, with proceedings set to resume on October 7. At that time, former municipal official María Victoria Caillava is scheduled to provide her indictment testimony.
Recent hearings have featured several crucial witnesses, including journalist Paula Bernini, who detailed her interviews with suspects María Victoria Caillava and Carlos Guido Pérez shortly after the disappearance. Additionally, Sergeant Yamila Cándida Alegre provided technical testimony regarding the search for the child's belongings using a search dog. Federal Police officers also presented findings from mobile phone analyses, including communications involving several suspects and the discovery of relevant data on various devices.
Adding to the complexity of the case, Fermín Amado Ceroleni, the president of the Corrientes Federal Oral Tribunal, has resigned from his position due to retirement. His resignation was accepted by President Javier Milei via Decree 1066/2026 and will take effect on December 1, 2026. To ensure the trial continues without significant delay, Enrique Bosch will step in as the presiding judge. While the change has raised concerns regarding the timeline for the remaining 100+ witnesses, judicial authorities suggest the trial will proceed under the supervision of the remaining judges and the substitute magistrate.
