Chaco Police Sergeant Accused in DiDi Ride Abduction Attempt Freed Pending Probe

Prosecutors released him after reviewing initial data from DiDi that did not provide conclusive proof.

Overview

  • A 21-year-old passenger reported that the driver diverted the route, locked the doors, grabbed her legs, and tried to inject an unknown substance before she says she escaped by screaming.
  • The driver was identified as Alejandro Resca, 51, a Chaco police sergeant who also worked for DiDi, and he voluntarily surrendered and denied the accusation.
  • Investigators briefly apprehended Resca, seized his vehicle, and then granted conditional release as the case proceeds under the charge of attempted unlawful deprivation of liberty.
  • Resca provided his cellphone and trip logs, asserting the complainant’s ride is not in his records, and prosecutors reviewed a DiDi platform report that has not yielded conclusive evidence.
  • The accused filed a counter-complaint for injurias and alleged a setup linked to taxi unions, while authorities continue to gather technical and forensic evidence.
