Prosecutor Seeks Oral Trial for Influencer Morena Rial in Double‑Aggravated Robbery Case

The filing cites surveillance evidence under a double‑aggravated robbery charge carrying a potential three‑to‑ten‑year term.

Overview

  • Deputy prosecutor Patricio Ferrari asked Judge Andrea Rodríguez Mentasty to elevate the case to an oral and public trial over three January home robberies in San Isidro and Castelar.
  • Rial is held in preventive detention at Unidad 51 in Magdalena after her release was revoked for failing to meet court‑ordered conditions.
  • She is charged with robbery doubly aggravated by break‑in and by being committed in a populated area and in a group, which in Argentina carries a possible sentence of 3 to 10 years if convicted.
  • Prosecutors describe a repeated modus operandi that included cutting power, scaling a fence and forcing a window, alleging a $32,000 theft and Apple accessories in Castelar, with Rial accused of driving the Peugeot 207 and, in one account, entering a home.
  • The request cites surveillance footage, WhatsApp messages, a police officer’s on‑site recognition, and seized‑item inventories; co‑defendants Alan Fernández and Lautaro Ledesma are detained, Luna González is a fugitive, and a fifth suspect remains unidentified.
