Prosecutor Seeks Preventive Detention for Morena Rial as House Arrest Bid Falters

The filing cites missed check-ins with Instagram activity used as evidence of noncompliance.

Overview

  • Rial remains in Unit 51 in Magdalena after prosecutors moved for preventive detention, a step that complicates any near-term shift to home confinement.
  • Media reports indicate the judge has days to decide on the request, while the defense continues to push for a domiciliary plan.
  • The prosecutor’s report details failures to appear and flags inconsistencies in her declared residence, with cell-tower data pointing to a different address.
  • An earlier denial of house arrest cited an unsuitable proposed domicile lacking basic hygiene and habitability standards, though her father has since refurbished a San Justo home as an option.
  • Her lawyer alleges poor detention conditions and a recent spider bite without prompt medical care, and notes that Instagram account closures — including a suspension for promoting online casinos — cut off a key income source.
