Mendoza Police Arrest Suspect in 2023 Disappearance of Sebastián Codina

Prosecutors plan to charge Ariel Alejandro Rosales with simple homicide within hours.

Overview

  • División Homicidios conducted two raids and detained Rosales at a home on Río Juramento 3600 in Las Heras.
  • A cellphone seized in the operation is now with homicide prosecutor Gustavo Pirrello for analysis.
  • Codina, 26, is one of three men who vanished in Mendoza in January 2023, and his body has not been found.
  • Investigators are pursuing a hypothesis that a dispute involving Rosales escalated and that his father, previously detained and later released, may have participated.
