Laurta Stays Silent in Córdoba Hearing as Police Arrest Gang Suspects in Peru and Mar del Plata

Authorities advanced linked cases across provinces and borders.

Overview

  • In an in-person indagatoria at Tribunales II, Pablo Daniel Laurta declined to answer questions about the double femicide of Luna Giardina and Mariel Zamudio and was returned to the Cruz del Eje prison, judicial sources said.
  • Laurta remains formally charged with doubly qualified homicide under femicide, homicide criminis causae, and the abduction of a minor, offenses that carry potential life imprisonment, while Entre Ríos maintains a 120-day preventive detention in the remisero homicide case.
  • In San Juan de Lurigancho, Lima, police detained Anthony Serba Gaspar, alias ‘Gordo Tobi’, and a 17-year-old known as ‘Ñongo’ in an operation tied to threats against prosecutor Margarita Haro, with the alleged leader ‘El Colocho’ still at large.
  • Peruvian authorities reported seizing firearms, ammunition, bulletproof vests, a dynamite cartridge, and ‘gota a gota’ loan cards during searches of three properties as investigations continue under prosecutorial direction.
  • In Mar del Plata, investigators arrested another suspect linked to the ‘boqueteros’ office-building robbery; after attempting to flee and giving a false name, he was lodged in Unidad Penal 44 and charged with aggravated robberies and multiple counts of cover-up.
