Overview

• Authorities are still reviewing roughly 800 hours of CCTV along with seized phones and laptops tied to the case.
• The case file has been examined by four judges and was sent back for further work after a September review by a prosecuting official.
• Waiter Braian Nahuel Paiz, 25, and former hotel worker Ezequiel Pereyra, 22, remain in custody since January and face up to 15 years if convicted of drug supply charges.
• Paiz admits taking drugs with Liam Payne but denies selling them or receiving payment, despite court documents alleging sales in the days before the death.
• An autopsy recorded death from multiple traumatic injuries after a third‑floor fall, and toxicology found alcohol, cocaine and an antidepressant; earlier negligence charges against three others were dropped.
