Businessman Marcelo Porcel Is Processed on Charges He Abused Classmates and Fitted With Ankle Monitor

Families of ten adolescents have publicly testified and handed evidence to federal prosecutors as the national court enforces an electronic tracking order and probes unanswered protection questions.

Overview

  • Federal prosecutors at Fiscalía Nacional en lo Criminal y Correccional N°1 and Judge Carlos Bruniard in Juzgado N°50 are handling a case that accuses Porcel of sexual abuse and corruption of ten classmates of his children.
  • Parents say the alleged abuse began around 2022 when the victims were about 11 to 15, and involved alcohol, money, games, massages and photographic or video recordings used to exploit the boys.
  • Families worked quietly to compare accounts, collect testimony and material evidence before going public in late May and early June and filing formal complaints in court.
  • A court-ordered electronic ankle monitor was placed on Porcel after he was spotted attending mass at the Basílica de Luján, fulfilling a judicial enforcement measure ordered days earlier.
  • Requests by the victims’ lawyer to investigate the possible role of Porcel’s wife, María Eugenia Llorente, have been filed but not advanced, and no formal state guardianship for the couple’s four children has been reported.
