Overview

  • The Tribunal Oral Criminal IV scheduled the oral proceedings for November 24–27, 2025, after a virtual hearing set the dates.
  • Marcelo Tagliaferro and neighbor Patricia Godoy will be tried for aggravated false testimony tied to the 2011 killings in La Loma.
  • Their accounts placed Martínez at the crime scene but were later rejected by courts as false following further review.
  • In the 2014 homicide trial, Martínez was acquitted and Javier “La Hiena” Quiroga received a life sentence, which became final in 2016.
  • Martínez’s attorney, Sebastián Chouela, is reported to plan a request for the maximum ten-year penalty, citing reputational and personal harm.
