Domestic violence and related crimes in Latin America

Overview

Legal proceedings regarding violent crimes and domestic disputes continue to advance across Latin America.

In Argentina, judicial processes remain active for several high-profile cases. This includes the trial of María Eugenia Juárez, who is accused of killing her 14-year-old son in Río Cuarto, and the prosecution of a man accused of shooting police officers in Viedma. Additionally, the 17-year prison sentence for a driver involved in a fatal accident in Salta has been upheld, and Leandro Ezequiel Vermúdez is entering the final stages of prosecution for the murder of Facundo González, with prosecutors seeking 18 years in prison. A new homicide investigation has also emerged in Tucumán involving a 79-year-old woman accused of killing her husband.

In Chile, legal developments include the trial of Andrés Sutar for the femicide of Javiera Jiménez Galleguillos, a trial for a man accused of the murder and dismemberment of an influencer in Antofagasta, and the dismissal of a lawyer from a public security role following charges of attempted femicide.
