Overview

• Police in Entre Ríos arrested Pablo Laurta at the Hotel Berlín in Gualeguaychú and recovered his 5-year-old son unharmed as he prepared to head toward Uruguay, according to officials.
• Investigators are probing the killings of Luna Giardina and her mother, Mariel Zamudio, at their home in Villa Rivera Indarte, with forensic reports citing close‑range gunshots and 9 mm–compatible casings.
• Records indicate Giardina had previously reported abuse, including an attempted strangulation, and carried a panic button that was not activated during the attack.
• Alerta Sofía, Interpol notices, and border checkpoints drove a coordinated search that tracked Laurta across provinces and prompted heightened controls at likely crossings.
• Prosecutor Gerardo Reyes of the Family and Gender Violence unit is advancing the case under court secrecy, with attention to Laurta’s men’s‑rights activism linked to “Varones Unidos” and with transfer and formal charges pending.
