Varones Unidos Founder Held 120 Days as Police Ready Transfer to Córdoba

Prosecutors deem him lucid, imputable, with an indagatoria pending in Córdoba.

Overview

  • Pablo Laurta remains jailed in Gualeguaychú under a 120‑day preventive detention ordered by Judge Gabriela Seró at prosecutor Daniela Montangie’s request in the homicide of driver Martín Sebastián Palacio.
  • Authorities plan a coordinated transfer on Sunday with Córdoba police leading the operation and estimating his arrival in the provincial capital early Monday.
  • In Córdoba, he is set to be questioned over the killings of his ex‑partner Luna Giardina and her mother Mariel Zamudio, and a new preventive detention from Córdoba courts is possible.
  • A 2024 court‑ordered psychological and psychiatric evaluation concluded Laurta understood the criminality of his acts and showed no severe psychopathology, supporting prosecutorial claims of imputability.
  • Montangie characterizes the driver’s death as homicidio criminis causa to steal the car, with dismemberment to conceal the crime, while Laurta — founder of the anti‑feminist group Varones Unidos — has told media he ‘went to rescue’ his son.
