Overview

• The Tribunal Oral en lo Criminal No. 2 in Zárate-Campana has scheduled the verdict for 11 a.m. on August 13.
• The tribunal refused preventive detention but imposed a travel ban, a 300-metre restraining order and police protection for Prandi and her family.
• The prosecutor has requested a 20-year sentence and Prandi’s legal team is pressing for 50 years, arguing that Contardi cannot be resocialized, while the defense has sought acquittal or the minimum penalty.
• Prandi delivered emotional testimony recounting repeated non-consensual sexual relations and formally requested protective measures including a panic button and round-the-clock police escort.
• Corroborating evidence includes testimony from 13 witnesses, extensive psychological and forensic reports, and a psychiatrist’s assessment of her severe trauma that could have escalated to femicide.
