Prosecutor Seeks Indagatoria for Graf After DNA Confirms Teen’s 1984 Remains

The request follows forensic evidence placing Diego Fernández Lima’s burial inside Graf’s property alongside a contractor’s account of his efforts to suppress evidence.

Overview

  • Equipo Argentino de Antropología Forense matched the remains to Diego Fernández Lima with 99.99% certainty and located the original burial within Congreso 3742.
  • Fiscal Martín López Perrando has charged Cristián Graf with aggravated cover-up and evidence suppression and formally requested an indagatoria.
  • Contractor Rolando Medina Rodas testified that Graf explicitly forbade workers from touching a small tree at the burial line and appeared “inquieto” as excavations approached the remains.
  • Judge Alejandro Litvack has not yet scheduled Graf’s hearing while the Fiscalía gathers additional witness statements and forensic context.
  • With the 1984 homicide likely prescribed under Argentine law, the investigation now hinges on proving Graf’s concealment rather than the original killing.
