Judge Orders Preventive Detention for Morena Rial in Robbery Case

A San Isidro judge accepted the prosecutor’s request after documented breaches of her earlier release conditions.

Overview

  • Guarantees Judge Andrea Rodríguez Mentasty granted the preventive detention sought by Deputy General Prosecutor Patricio Ferrari, keeping Rial held at Unidad Penitenciaria N° 51 de Magdalena.
  • Rial is accused of three January home burglaries in Villa Adelina, Martínez and Ituzaingó, charged with double‑aggravated robbery said to have been committed in a group and by forced entry, with her infant present in one episode.
  • The court had already denied house arrest after finding the proposed residence failed minimum hygiene and habitability standards for a child.
  • Ferrari’s filing cited missed required court check‑ins, continued public Instagram activity during those lapses, and inconsistencies about her declared address, pointing to noncompliance risks.
  • Her lawyers say they will appeal the denial of home detention and seek a transfer, alleging isolation, communication limits and delayed medical attention after a reported spider bite, as her Instagram accounts’ shutdown curtails potential income.
