Alleged Caregiver Who Drugged Elderly Clients Arrested in Lomas de Zamora

The case moves to judicial review with investigators working to identify further victims.

Overview

  • Detectives from the División Delitos contra la Salud y Seguridad Personal detained Soledad Verónica G., 36, after surveilling her Villa Albertina address and intercepting her return.
  • A court-ordered December 23 search of the home recovered psychotropic drugs and medical prescriptions, including sertraline, although the suspect was not present at the time.
  • Investigators report she entered homes by recommendation, began as a cleaner, then assumed elder care duties before spiking routine medications with sedatives to steal cash and valuables.
  • Police link her to at least four similar incidents, including the most recent case in Recoleta and another reported in Palermo.
  • Judge Martín Peluso will decide her procedural status in the coming days as authorities work to identify additional victims and assess potential collaborators.
