DF Racer Pedro Turra Ordered Into Preventive Custody After Teen Left in Coma and New Abuse Claims

The court acted on fresh testimony supported by search findings that, according to police, indicate a violent pattern.

Overview

  • Civil Police confirmed on Jan. 30 that a judge authorized Pedro Arthur Turra’s preventive detention with no set end date.
  • Search warrants executed at his residence led to the seizure of knives, a brass knuckle and items police say were used to intimidate victims.
  • A young woman told investigators he tortured her with a taser and previously forced her to drink alcohol as a minor, with video evidence provided to police.
  • Authorities are probing four occurrences tied to Turra: the January assault that left a 16-year-old in a coma, a June 2025 plaza fight, supplying alcohol to a minor, and a July 2025 traffic-related assault.
  • The victim remains in a deep coma as investigators await the IML forensic report, while the family’s lawyer asks that the case be treated as attempted homicide following an earlier procedural denial of preventive detention.
