Overview

• Facundo Ángel Plos, 26, disconnected from a virtual court session, cut his electronic bracelet and fled from his home in Villa Regina as a judge ordered his immediate detention.
• Judge Oscar Gatti had authorized transferring him to Penal Establishment No. 2 in General Roca to secure preventive imprisonment after provincial appeals were exhausted.
• Police mounted an intensive search in Villa Regina and nearby areas with Comisaría Quinta, the Investigations Brigade, the Motorizada (BMA) and K‑9 units, and issued a warrant for his capture.
• Prosecutor Vanesa Cascallares cited a pattern of noncompliance, including perimeter violations recorded by the anklet and irregular court check‑ins, to argue detention was necessary.
• Plos holds two convictions: six years for sexual abuse with carnal access from a December 2024 ruling, and three years for aggravated culpable homicide in a 2022 Route 22 crash in which he drove at roughly 153 km/h with 0.74 g/l alcohol, a case upheld by the provincial high court.
