Overview

• During the handover from Gualeguaychú to Concordia, Laurta told Canal 9 Litoral “Todo fue por justicia” when asked about the remisero Martín Sebastián Palacio.
• Authorities say mutilated remains found near Estación Yeruá are 99% likely to be Palacio, though forensic DNA identification has not yet been completed.
• He was detained at a Gualeguaychú hotel and his six-year-old son was recovered unharmed after a nationwide search triggered by an Alerta Sofía.
• Investigators describe a premeditated route from Uruguay, alleging he practiced kayaking in Salto before crossing the river clandestinely into Argentina.
• Evidence being analyzed includes a burned Toyota Corolla in Córdoba, surveillance tying him to the driver, and items seized from his room such as a pistol, multiple phones, and the remisero’s wallet; after the Concordia hearing he is to be returned to Córdoba to face double femicide and abduction charges.
