Córdoba Police Officer Jailed Over Covert Bathroom Recordings After Prosecutor Files Gender‑Violence Charges

The force’s oversight faces scrutiny after records showed he was expelled in 2021, then swiftly reinstated to a post near the women’s restroom.

Overview

  • Prosecutor Franco Pilnik ordered the detention of cabo Germán Eduardo Peralta, who is now held at Bouwer prison following his formal indictment.
  • He is charged with repeated violation of domicile and serious injuries aggravated by gender-based violence, tied to alleged secret filming of colleagues.
  • Forensic examinations of his seized phone found photos and videos taken in the Jefatura’s women’s bathroom, accessed through a concealed opening behind a toilet.
  • Searches recovered a cellphone, two personal computers and external storage, and investigators are assessing the scope of the material and any dissemination, with no accomplices identified so far.
  • Security authorities are reviewing his record— including a 2016 sanction and a 2021 expulsion later reversed with reassignment to Sanidad Policial— as the force weighs exoneration.
