  • Investigators discovered a threatening message carved on Moyano’s back reading “Ahora no culias con nadie más,” highlighting targeted gender-based violence
  • Geolocation data from Molina Corvalán’s electronic bracelet placed him at the Las Heras field where Moyano’s body was found, triggering his arrest upon return from leave
  • Prosecutor Carlos Pirrello activated Argentina’s femicide protocol and mobilized specialized forensic and homicide teams to oversee the investigation
  • Security Minister Mercedes Rus condemned the decision to grant temporary prison leave to a repeat sexual offender despite negative risk reports, fueling calls for policy reform
