Pablo Laurta Transferred to Córdoba, Held in Isolated Cell Ahead of Questioning

Prosecutors will question him in the Córdoba double femicide, with psychiatric exams ordered to assess his imputability.

Overview

  • An overnight interprovincial convoy moved Laurta from Gualeguaychú’s Unit 9 to Córdoba, with escort by División Homicidios, Grupo ETER and provincial police along the Rosario–Victoria route.
  • After processing at police headquarters in Córdoba’s Alberdi district, he was lodged in the Cruz del Eje prison in a single cell under 24-hour camera monitoring to prevent self-harm.
  • In Córdoba he is formally accused of killing Luna Giardina and Mariel Zamudio, while in Entre Ríos he faces homicidio criminis causa in the death of driver Martín Sebastián Palacio with a 120-day preventive detention in place.
  • Forensic work continues in Entre Ríos, including DNA testing and searches for additional remains linked to Palacio, as parallel proceedings advance in both provinces.
  • Laurta told reporters he acted to “rescue” his son from alleged trafficking; authorities recovered the child, who remains under temporary protective care.
