Court Weighs Home Detention for Morena Rial With GPS Monitoring at Friend's San Justo Residence

A judge requested a technical check for an electronic ankle monitor at a proposed address to evaluate moving her preventive detention to house arrest.

Overview

  • Rial remains held at Unidad 51 in Magdalena after her earlier release was revoked for failing to attend psychological treatment and secure stable employment.
  • A document dated October 7 from the San Isidro Guarantees Court asks the monitoring unit to confirm GPS feasibility at the San Justo home of Evelyn Denise Martínez, who offered to act as guardian.
  • The measure still requires prosecutorial input and the monitoring authority’s clearance, with media reporting a decision could follow once those steps are completed.
  • Defense lawyers Alejandro Cipolla and Martín Leiró say the request is viable and stress it would be a morigeration of preventive detention rather than full excarceration, with partner Rodrigo expected to be present at the domicile.
  • Lawyer statements cite a reserved penitentiary medical report on her mental health as well as a handwritten letter from Rial, while her father provided supplies and transport for a visit and her social accounts continue posting paid promotions via an assistant.
