DNA testing alongside canine searches is under way to identify human remains seized from Jurado’s property.

Overview

  • The one-on-one meeting between prosecutor Guillermo Beller and detainee Matías Jurado at the Penal de Gorriti was suspended on the scheduled visitation day with no new date announced.
  • Judicial sources said logistical hurdles and heightened security protocols tied to prisoner visitation schedules prompted the postponement.
  • Jurado remains in preventive detention in the high-security wing after undergoing psychological profiling by Ministerio Público de la Acusación specialists.
  • Prosecutors have summoned families to match clothing and shoes with remains previously recovered at a property linked to Jurado.
  • External teams, including the Salta Forensic Investigation Corps and canine units, are conducting DNA analyses and searches to identify remains linked to at least five disappearances.
