Felipe Pettinato Returns to Streaming With On-Air Mea Culpa as Fire Trial Is Delayed to 2026

His reappearance drew fresh outrage from those seeking justice for the neurologist killed in the 2022 Belgrano blaze.

Overview

  • Pettinato rejoined his father’s streaming program En una con Pettinato on Abitare after time away from media.
  • On air, he said his greatest regret is missing his daughter’s early years, describing cycles of drug use and hospitalizations.
  • He said he continues recovery efforts by visiting the facility where he was treated and supporting newcomers.
  • The case over the May 16, 2022 apartment fire that killed neurologist Melchor Rodrigo remains open, with the trial moved to March 2026 after a judge resigned.
  • In a separate case, a provincial appeals chamber in February upheld his conviction for simple sexual abuse of a 15-year-old, confirming a nine-month suspended sentence and related measures.
