Overview

• On July 30, 2025, Judge Gabriela Azpiroz found Rocca guilty of double culpable homicide and serious injuries in the collision that killed models Micaela Trinidad and María Josefina Ferrero.
• Official accident reconstruction by Pericia técnica de accidentología vial determined Rocca’s Volkswagen Nivus crossed into the opposing lane on Ruta 104 near Manantiales, triggering the head-on impact.
• Toxicological analysis showed both drivers had consumed drugs, but the court held only Rocca responsible for causing the crash.
• Rocca remains subject to night-time home detention in Uruguay with a travel ban and faces a 15-day window to file an appeal before the Appeals Chamber reviews the case.
• Victims’ families praised the sentence as a firm response to prevent impunity and expressed relief after a multi-year investigation conducted partly via remote testimony.
