Salta Police Major Vicente Cordeyro death investigation faces scrutiny

The family of former Salta Police Major Vicente Cordeyro is marking the first anniversary of his disappearance and death under mysterious circumstances in San Lorenzo. To honor his memory, the family has organized a mass and a symbolic silent march.

Nicolás Cordeyro, the son of the deceased officer, has expressed skepticism regarding the official investigation. He questioned the logic of the theory that his father committed suicide by self-immolation, noting that the physical movement required after such an act seemed impossible. The family, supported by legal professionals, claims to have their own theory regarding the circumstances of his death.

Further allegations have emerged involving Provincial Prosecutor Pedro García Castilla. Evidence presented by the family, including a video, suggests that García Castilla may have attempted to silence Cordeyro days before his death. The conflict reportedly stemmed from Cordeyro’s public criticisms of the Prosecutor's Office regarding the investigation into the femicide of Jimena Salas. The family is calling for a thorough investigation into the conduct of the Prosecutor's Office to ensure accountability.
