Pablo Laurta Refuses to Testify as Searches Expand for Driver’s Missing Remains

Prosecutors have 24 hours to seek his pretrial detention in Entre Ríos.

Overview

  • He declined to give testimony before prosecutor Daniela Montangie in the investigation into the killing of driver Martín Sebastián Palacio.
  • The Entre Ríos homicide is being pursued in a separate case from the Córdoba femicides as investigators continue gathering evidence.
  • Search teams are combing the Yeruá area with horses and drones to find the missing head and arms after only a torso was recovered on Monday.
  • Case sources say DNA testing to confirm the torso’s identity could take about five months.
  • Laurta remains detained on accusations including double femicide and kidnapping, and during a transfer he said it was “for justice.”
