Aníbal Lotocki faces consolidated homicide trial

Overview

The oral trial against plastic surgeon Aníbal Lotocki has expanded as multiple cases are consolidated into a single legal proceeding. The trial addresses the 2021 death of businessman Cristian Zárate, which is being treated as a homicide with eventual intent following multiple aesthetic surgeries performed in a single session at the Centro Médico Conde (CEMECO). During testimony regarding the Zárate case, Ministry of Health inspectors revealed significant irregularities at the facility, stating that CEMECO was not authorized for inpatient stays or major surgeries, as its permit only allowed for outpatient procedures. Inspectors also reported finding expired medications, undocumented fentanyl and propofol, and propofol stored in a refrigerator alongside food.

In addition to the homicide charges, the trial incorporates accusations that Lotocki caused permanent and potentially incurable injuries to several women, including Silvina Luna, Pamela Sosa, Estefanía Xipolitakis, and Gabriela Trenchi. Regarding Trenchi, the National Court of Cassation added a conviction for fraud.

Following recent legal developments, the Oral Criminal and Correctional Court No. 28 ordered the preventive detention of Lotocki. This ruling follows a confirmed conviction where the National Court of Cassation increased his previous sentence to eight years of imprisonment and a ten-year medical disqualification. The court noted that the risk of flight has increased as the possibility of effective imprisonment becomes more concrete, with only a pending complaint before the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation remaining.
