Overview
- Agostina Páez remains under pretrial measures in Rio de Janeiro, including preventive detention, electronic monitoring and a ban on leaving Brazil.
- Her filing argues investigators from Comisaría 11ª de Rocinha failed to incorporate key timelines and security-camera recordings into the case.
- The defense also contests the public use of her image in anti-racism campaigns before any final conviction, citing presumption-of-innocence concerns.
- Páez shared Instagram screenshots showing violent messages such as “vas a morir,” with threats and insults posted in Portuguese and Spanish, and says she limits outings for safety.
- Bar associations in Santiago del Estero and Buenos Aires asked Argentina’s Foreign Ministry for consular assistance as Brazilian authorities review the petition.
