Victoria Cantero accused of using social media while in detention

In Argentina, legal representatives for the family of Julián Álvarez Guardia have filed complaints alleging that Victoria Luz Cantero, the primary suspect in his homicide, has been active on social media while in detention. Attorney Pablo Vianello reported that Cantero’s Facebook account has recently accepted friend requests, raising concerns about unauthorized access to communication devices. The prosecution is investigating whether this activity indicates a breach of detention protocols or attempts to manipulate witnesses, particularly following allegations of attempted bribery to influence testimony.

In Bolivia, Tatiana Marset, the sister of Uruguayan suspected drug trafficker Sebastián Marset, has been released from the Palmasola prison. She is currently serving house arrest as the judicial process continues. Following her release, Marset was named the queen of the ‘Las Tremendas’ carnival group for the 2027 festivities, a move that has drawn significant public attention.
