Overview

• Four suspects are detained and charged with aggravated unlawful deprivation of liberty and aggravated homicide: police officer Florencia Ludmila Valentini, ex–Bonaerense agent and COZ employee Alejo Ezequiel Moreno, and alleged accomplices Néstor Irvin Matencio Limache and Lucas Gabriel Lemos.
• New videos trace the scheme from a failed ruse at the victim’s home to an abduction in a Ford Focus, the killing near Baradero, and a later attempt to enter the property with a stolen key that was thwarted after they chose the wrong door.
• Investigators reconstructed movements using CCTV, a 911 call, and cellphone antenna hits, then located the body off Route 9 with a helicopter-assisted search.
• Raids recovered the VW Gol Trend used for support and the officer’s service weapon, the Ford Focus was seized during an arrest, and a judge validated urgent detentions following the evidence review.
• All four declined to testify in initial hearings, and the probe continues into telecom cross-checks and luminol testing, with scrutiny of Moreno’s prior internal discipline record within the provincial police.
