Overview

• Elizabeth Rodrigo, mother of public figure Ayelén Paleo, remains detained after multi‑provincial raids that police say rescued 12 women and seized electronic and photography equipment.
• Media aired an audio in which a voice attributed to Rodrigo presents herself as a photographer and site owner, outlines photo packages done at her home, and lists prices of 70,000 to 80,000 pesos.
• The trans model Luisana Cardozo testified on television that she was recruited after photo shoots, that 70% of her earnings was taken, and that Ayelén brought clients; she showed cash she said was for her silence and then fainted on air.
• Investigators are collecting and assessing the leaked audio and televised testimony, material that could be incorporated into the case as prosecutors advance the inquiry.
• Family members publicly defend Rodrigo’s innocence, with Ayelén saying she expects her mother to be released soon and reports estimating the alleged network’s monthly takings at about 12 million pesos.
