Six Years After Fernando Báez Sosa’s Killing, Parents Lead Tributes and Renew Plea for Final Sentences

Relatives pressed for final judgments with the convictions still under review on appeal.

Overview

  • A packed mass at Parroquia Santísimo Redentor in Recoleta brought together family, friends and neighbors to honor Fernando and thank supporters.
  • In Villa Gesell, a brief, low‑turnout homage at the Le Brique memorial underscored organizers’ claims that tributes are being removed and the site has been stripped back.
  • The 2023 convictions remain in place—five life terms and three 15‑year sentences—but the case is in an appeals stage as the family seeks unappealable rulings.
  • Prison officials previously isolated Máximo Thomsen at Melchor Romero after an October 12 altercation, an action reported as tied to tensions following a Netflix documentary.
  • Separate reports this week detailed ongoing violence, including a 16‑year‑old allegedly killed by his stepfather in Maquinista Savio and a fatal stabbing at a 15th‑birthday party in Chaco with a 20‑year‑old detained, with other incidents under investigation.
