Morena Rial Expected to Leave Prison for House Arrest as Instagram Shuts Second Account

Judges will weigh platform bans for casino promotions alongside reports of earlier noncompliance.

Overview

  • Rial remains in Unidad 51 de Magdalena, and her lawyer says she could be moved to house arrest between Thursday and Friday at the home of her friend Evelyn.
  • Instagram previously closed her main account with more than 1.3 million followers for promoting online casinos, and her secondary profile has now also been taken down.
  • She tried to keep paid posts going by altering key words with emojis to evade filters, according to the coverage.
  • Media reports note that continuing to promote betting sites while detained could hurt her chances of securing more favorable procedural conditions.
  • Her father, Jorge Rial, has reportedly ended financial support, and she shares a pavilion with Florencia Ibáñez, with a friend saying she feels protected inside.
