Prosecutor Seeks To Question Aníbal Lotocki as Criminally Responsible in Silvina Luna’s Death

Prosecutors say his failure to counter risks from earlier PMMA injections created a duty he did not fulfill.

Overview

  • Interim prosecutor Pablo Turano asked the court to take Lotocki’s statement under Article 79 for simple homicide, which carries 8 to 25 years in prison.
  • The filing argues that prior procedures caused granulomas and triggered a legal duty to take steps to neutralize those risks, which the surgeon allegedly ignored.
  • Turano cites contact from Luna’s physician alerting Lotocki to her condition and says the surgeon offered only a web link instead of arranging corrective care.
  • The judicial autopsy noted venous thromboses and pulmonary thromboembolism with the cause listed as to be determined, while the family’s lawyer says the autopsy found high metacrylate levels.
  • Lotocki remains in preventive detention in Ezeiza on a separate homicide case and has an eight-year conviction for fraud and serious injuries tied to PMMA injections confirmed on appeal.
