Overview

• A 27-year-old clinic employee stole four breast implants, valued at $1,000 each, from the Clínica del Niño y la Madre in September 2024.
• The implants were intended for the employee's 24-year-old girlfriend, who attempted to use them in an unauthorized cosmetic procedure at another clinic in Mar del Plata.
• Authorities traced the implants using their serial numbers, which confirmed their origin and location at a different clinic.
• A judicially authorized raid at the couple's home on Soler Street led to the seizure of the implants and their cell phones, as well as the couple's brief detention and subsequent release.
• Prosecutor Fernando Berlingeri is leading the ongoing investigation, with no pretrial detention imposed on the suspects as evidence undergoes forensic analysis.
