South American judicial and detention developments

Overview

Judicial proceedings and detention rulings continue to unfold across several South American nations. In Argentina, legal developments include a hearing for Jazmín Salazar regarding the death of professor Domingo Bravo, where prosecutors are seeking to extend her detention. In a separate case, a judge rejected a release request for Matías Marín, who remains in custody for the femicide of Gemma Álvarez. Other ongoing investigations include a micro-trafficking probe in Rafaela and a homicide investigation involving a doctor in La Rioja. Recent sentencing developments include a 10-year sentence for the homicide of Federico Toledo, a 22-year sentence for the sexual abuse of a 71-year-old woman, and a 35-year sentence for a businessman in Jujuy for crimes against minors. Additionally, six individuals face 60 days of preventive detention following a 100-million-peso robbery at an estancia in Entre Ríos. In Rosario, Agustín López Gagliasso, a 21-year-old TikToker, was sentenced to 16 years in prison for a double homicide. The court at the Centro de Justicia Penal de Rosario classified the incident as homicide with ‘dolo eventual’ (eventual intent), ruling that Gagliasso accepted the risk of death by driving a Peugeot 206 at speeds exceeding 120 km/h through a central pedestrian zone while pursuing a motorcyclist. The crash resulted in the deaths of Tania Daniela Gandolfi and her daughter, Agustina Magalí García, and included a 10-year disqualification from driving. Further developments in Rosario saw the Criminal Chamber revoke the preventive detention of Matías Capozucca, accused of coercive threats and trespassing against a former partner; he was ordered to pay a 3 million peso bond and utilize electronic monitoring. In Chaco, a 20-year-old man received seven years for the robbery and sexual assault of an 80-year-old woman.
