Overview
- Porcel received permission to travel to Uruguay through January 5, a decision challenged by families and child-protection authorities who had asked the court to restrict his movement.
- Prosecutors and the minors’ defender requested his questioning and tighter controls, but the court has postponed an indagatoria until all adolescent statements are completed in Cámara Gesell.
- At least ten adolescents from Colegio Palermo Chico have filed complaints describing a pattern of grooming that involved alcohol, cash incentives, online betting and private gatherings at homes and offices.
- Investigators carried out searches and seized phones and computers; chat transcripts and multimedia material are under forensic review as the case proceeds under secrecy.
- Precautionary measures bar Porcel from contacting the complainants, impose a 300‑meter exclusion zone and prohibit attendance at the school and club GEBA, while the school says it activated protocols and the family is no longer part of the community.
