Judge Denies House Arrest for Morena Rial as Lawyer Cites Severe Prison Distress

Reports indicate a preventive detention order, with custody questions intensifying.

Overview

  • Rial remains held at Unidad Penal No. 51 in Magdalena following an earlier brief release and return to custody for alleged noncompliance.
  • DDM and Diario Uno reported that a judge rejected her bid for home detention and issued preventive detention, after prosecutor Patricio Ferrari pressed for that measure.
  • Her attorney, Martín Leiro, says he found her in tears after a call with her father and has formally requested an evaluation of her emotional and economic situation.
  • Her circle fears she could lose custody of her son, Amadeo, with upcoming judicial steps described as decisive for the child’s care.
  • She is charged with aggravated robbery that could carry up to four years if the fiscal hypothesis is confirmed, and she is housed in a pavilion that includes detainee Florencia Ibáñez, with media differing on how long she has been in preventive detention.
