Ramón Dupuy testifies in Loan Peña investigation

Ramón Dupuy, grandfather of Lucio Dupuy, testified via Zoom before the Federal Oral Court of Corrientes regarding the investigation into the disappearance of Loan Danilo Peña. During his two-hour testimony, Dupuy clarified that his foundation has no connection to the disappearance of Loan and stated he is considering closing the Dupuy Foundation due to public defamation by a former lawyer of the Dupuy family.

Dupuy testified that he does not know several individuals linked to the case, including Laudelina Peña, Leonardo Rubio, Pablo Noguera, Pablo Núñez, and Nicolás Gabriel ‘El Americano’ Soria. The hearing also involved tensions between defense attorney Rodolfo Baqué and federal prosecutor Carlos Schaefer, prompting an intervention by the presiding judge, Fermín Amado Ceroleni, who urged the professionals to maintain decorum given the emblematic nature of the case.

The proceedings occur against the backdrop of the ongoing search for Loan Danilo Peña, who has been missing for over 850 days, and the previous tragedy involving the murder of Lucio Dupuy.
