Phone Evidence Points to Jailed Leaders Orchestrating San Isidro Killing by Video Call

Prosecutors say data from seized phones links the Acassuso home invasion to orders issued remotely from detention.

Overview

  • María Susana Rodríguez Iturriaga, 81, was found bound and beaten in her Acassuso home, with the autopsy placing the killing on Saturday, October 25.
  • Prosecutor Patricio Ferrari classified the case as homicide in the course of a robbery, citing signs of torture and violent entry.
  • Police arrested multiple suspects tied to La Banda del Millón after an attempted break‑in and coordinated raids in San Isidro and Tigre, seizing phones, tools and disguises.
  • Newly opened phones indicate the assault was streamed by video call, with Thiago “Polli” Sandoval and Hugo “Castillito” Castillo San Martín allegedly directing steps and sending Google Maps images from detention.
  • Investigators link the crew to prior high‑impact robberies using pre‑raid intelligence and prison collaboration from Penal 57, while prosecutors have already moved to bring 11 alleged members to trial in related cases.
