Overview

• Eduardo Saúl De Francesco’s body was discovered Sunday near kilometer 121 of Route 9, close to Baradero, after a four-day search.
• Authorities report four detainees, including a Bonaerense police officer and a municipal COZ agent linked to prior police service, as the probe widens.
• Prosecutors frame the case as illegal deprivation of liberty with an economic motive rather than an extortion kidnapping, given the lack of ransom demands.
• Security cameras captured the abduction and led investigators to seize a white Volkswagen Gol and a Ford Focus believed to have been used in the crime.
• One detainee provided information that helped locate the body, while the municipality supplied surveillance records and suspended the implicated employee.
