Overview

• Officers stopped her vehicle near Villa Lugano on Avenida General Paz late on August 5 after spotting it speeding alongside other cars.
• Neither Rial nor her driver Rosmary—described as her ‘mai umbanda’ associate—could present the required printed insurance certificate at the scene.
• She remained held for about two hours while police awaited delivery of the hard-copy insurance proof before allowing her to leave.
• LAM panelist Pepe Ochoa detailed the roadside operation on air and host Ángel de Brito suggested there may be “more murky elements” behind the intervention.
• The traffic stop compounds her legal exposure following her January arrest for alleged burglary and could influence the outcome of that ongoing case.
