Overview

  • Neighbors in Laborde filmed Bonetto attending a football match without visible security, renewing public fear and outrage.
  • In December 2024, Judge Patricia Somer moved Bonetto from Hospital Borda to a private psychiatric clinic in Córdoba without notifying the victims’ families.
  • The mothers of 18-year-old Nuria Couto and 15-year-old Natalia Grenbenshikova have appealed to the Supreme Court to overturn the transfer order and demand notification protocols.
  • Argentina’s 2010 Mental Health Law prohibits indefinite psychiatric detention beyond criminal sentences and prioritizes treatment over security.
  • Judge Ángel Nardiello, who sentenced Bonetto to life in 2018, has called the Mental Health Law “desastrosa” for allowing dangerous individuals to live freely among the community.
