Sena Defense Lawyer Detained in Strzyzowski Jury Trial After Threatening Forensic Expert

The arrest follows a juror‑privacy breach inquiry centered on his seized phone, now subject to a court‑ordered forensic unlock.

Overview

  • Nicolás Boniardi Cabra surrendered in Resistencia after a detention request by prosecutor Roxana Soto and remains held on alleged judicial disobedience and disruption.
  • Investigators say the lawyer was removed during jury selection for using his phone to film candidates, and his iPhone was seized to verify possible recordings.
  • The Juzgado de Garantías Nº1 authorized a forced forensic examination of the device after he refused to provide the PIN, with experts reporting initial access difficulties.
  • Forensic specialist Facundo Toledo reported that Boniardi threatened him during a scheduled procedure, prompting security to remove the lawyer and the court to issue a new detention order.
  • While the trial proceeds, police and experts testified that digital traces place Cecilia Strzyzowski at the Sena home with phone signals later matching a route to Campo Rossi, and a perito detailed Google searches attributed to César Sena about assaults and, after her disappearance, murders and remorse; the judge also instructed jurors to ignore a leaked, non‑admitted audio.
