Overview
- On July 3 the accused, Esteban Ramón Delgado, was freed because the Ministerio Público de la Acusación did not request a prórroga to extend his preventive detention before the judicial deadline.
- Reported July 24, prosecutors obtained a new arrest after a family-court prohibition was allegedly breached and the fiscal Javier Paz charged Delgado with disobedience of court orders.
- The MPA's Regional 2ª has opened an internal review that focuses on the June 1 reassignment of the file from fiscal Maximiliano Nicosia to fiscal Javier Paz and who held responsibility for the missed deadline.
- The underlying abuse complaint dates to 2022 and one alleged victim, Sofía, was murdered in late 2024; the separate femicide probe still lists five people imputados and a preinforme cites probable mechanical asphyxia.
- Victims' lawyers say the lapse created immediate danger because Delgado registered a home about 300 meters from his children's house and the case now raises questions about MPA case‑management, victim protection, and possible administrative sanctions.
