Overview

• Prosecutor Juan Manuel Esperante imputed the four suspects for aggravated illegal deprivation of liberty and aggravated homicide.
• The detainees are Florencia Ludmila Valentini (active officer), Alejo Ezequiel Moreno (ex-policeman and COZ employee), Néstor Irvin Matencio Limache and Lucas Lemos.
• Investigators reconstructed the plot using security cameras, antenna activations and a 911 call, and a helicopter search found the victim’s body by Route 9 near Baradero.
• Evidence indicates the group used a fake surprise-party ruse to approach the 79-year-old, and investigators are examining whether they acted on a mistaken belief he kept cash at home.
• All four refused to testify, and authorities await phone-crossing results and luminol testing of the Ford Focus to complete the forensic timeline.
