Laurta Transferred to Córdoba Under Heavy Guard as Spain Reports New Robbery Arrests

The accused double femicide suspect faces questioning in a maximum‑security Córdoba prison, with Spanish forces reporting fresh detentions from coordinated operations plus a manhunt after a robbery shooting in Móstoles.

Overview

  • Argentine police moved Pablo Laurta overnight from Gualeguaychú to Córdoba and lodged him in the maximum‑security Cruz del Eje prison ahead of questioning by prosecutor Gerardo Reyes.
  • Laurta is accused of killing his ex‑partner Luna Giardina and her mother Mariel Zamudio in Córdoba and of the homicide of driver Martín Sebastián Palacio in Entre Ríos, where a judge ordered 120 days of preventive detention.
  • In Spain, the Guardia Civil’s operation Fluence led to four arrests tied to at least seven night‑time break‑ins at businesses across Huesca, Cantabria and Asturias, with a judge ordering provisional prison for the detainees.
  • Police logged additional actions across several cities, including the arrest of a suspect linked to 18 vehicle break‑ins in Valladolid, the jailing of an alleged chain‑snatcher for six robberies in Murcia, two arrests for an armed shop theft in Petrer, and detentions in Avilés and Palma for recent property crimes.
  • Investigators in Móstoles are seeking a suspect who assaulted a woman after an ATM withdrawal and fired a shot that injured her son during the robbery, with forensic and judicial units leading the probe.
